Law

Very unlikely to pass

This type of resolution is very difficult to pass because it requires the White House to agree to overturn a rule that its own agency just created.

Key Points

This resolution is a formal attempt by Congress to stop a new rule from the Environmental Protection Agency. The rule in question sets limits on dangerous air pollution coming from iron and steel factories.
If this measure passes, the EPA would be forbidden from enforcing these specific pollution standards. The rule would be treated as if it never existed.
This action mostly affects the owners of large industrial steel plants and the people who live in towns near those facilities. It deals with how much toxic material these plants are allowed to release into the air.
Lawmakers use this type of resolution to keep a close eye on government agencies. It allows them to vote on whether a new regulation is the right move for the country.
