Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards for Heavy-Duty Vehicles-Phase 3".

# Summary of HJRES 26 **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would cancel an EPA environmental regulation issued in April 2024 that sets stricter greenhouse gas emission standards for heavy-duty vehicles like semi-trucks, delivery trucks, school buses, and utility vehicles. The new EPA rule requires these vehicles to gradually reduce their emissions over time, replacing an earlier (less strict) regulation. If passed, HJRES 26 would eliminate these stricter emission requirements. **Who It Affects:** The bill would primarily impact the trucking and vehicle manufacturing industries, as they would no longer be required to meet the stricter emission standards.

It also indirectly affects consumers (through potential impacts on vehicle costs and fuel efficiency) and environmental concerns related to air quality and climate change. **Current Status:** The bill was introduced by Rep. Russ Fulcher (R-ID) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full House. This type of resolution uses a special congressional process that allows lawmakers to overturn federal regulations, though it would still need approval from both the House and Senate and the President's signature to become law.
