The Senate passed a joint resolution that overturns a specific rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This resolution has now been signed into law.
Why it matters: This action reverses a change in how the EPA regulates certain industrial pollution sources, meaning those facilities will continue to be treated under the older, more stringent classification rules rather than the new ones the agency attempted to implement.
Who it affects
- Industrial facilities that emit air pollutants
