What it does

The COAL POWER Act would repeal a specific Environmental Protection Agency rule that sets national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants from coal- and oil-fired electric utility steam generating units, effectively nullifying the rule as if it had never been enacted. This change would affect electric utilities that operate coal- and oil-fired power plants by removing federal requirements related to residual risk and technology reviews under the Clean Air Act. The bill’s primary impact is on energy producers and regulators, aiming to reduce what its sponsors describe as overregulation of proven energy resources.
