S.J.Res. 11 Vetoed

Sponsored by Deb Fischer (R)

A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "Control of Air Pollution From New Motor Vehicles: Heavy-Duty Engine and Vehicle Standards".

Would have blocked a federal rule that tightens pollution limits for heavy-duty trucks and buses.

Tradeoff

Would have erased new limits on smog and soot from heavy-duty engines and vehicles. Those limits were meant to cut air pollution from big trucks and buses.
