What it does
This bill would nullify a specific Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule that sets greenhouse gas emission standards for new, modified, and reconstructed fossil fuel-fired power plants, establishes emission guidelines for existing such plants, and repeals the Affordable Clean Energy Rule. The rule in question was published in the Federal Register on May 9, 2024 (89 Fed. Reg. 39798). If enacted, the bill would eliminate the legal force and effect of this EPA regulation, affecting fossil fuel-fired electric generating units and the regulatory framework governing their greenhouse gas emissions. The bill has been referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce for further consideration.
