What this bill does
In plain words · AI-written from the official summaryBlocks EPA rubber tire manufacturing pollution rule
Congress is trying to reject a new Environmental Protection Agency rule that would regulate harmful air pollution from rubber tire manufacturing plants. The rule, issued in November 2024, was created to make sure that all hazardous air pollutants coming from rubber processing operations are controlled and limited.
How it affects you
If this resolution passes, rubber tire manufacturers would not have to follow the new pollution limits that the EPA rule requires. People living near rubber tire manufacturing plants could potentially be exposed to more hazardous air pollutants, though the summary doesn't specify what health or environmental effects that might bring.

This joint resolution nullifies the Environmental Protection Agency rule titled National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Rubber Tire Manufacturing (89 Fed. Reg. 94886) and published on November 29, 2024. The rule addresses the decision in Louisiana Environmental Action Network v. EPA (D.C. Cir. 2020) by implementing emissions standards for the rubber processing subcategory of the rubber tire manufacturing industry to ensure all emissions of hazardous air pollutants from sources in the source category are regulated.
