Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "Phasedown of Hydrofluorocarbons: Management of Certain Hydrofluorocarbons and Substitutes Under the American Innovation and Manufacturing Act of 2020".

# Summary of HJRES 30 **What the Bill Would Do:** If passed, this bill would reject and eliminate an Environmental Protection Agency rule released in October 2024 that regulates hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)—chemicals used primarily in refrigeration and air conditioning systems that contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. The EPA rule requires companies to reduce HFC emissions and establishes standards for recycling refrigerants. Passing this bill would cancel those requirements. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily affects refrigeration and air conditioning industries, manufacturers of cooling equipment, and businesses that use or handle refrigerants. It also indirectly affects consumers through potential impacts on cooling costs and climate policy.

The rule being rejected was part of the American Innovation and Manufacturing Act of 2020, a bipartisan law Congress previously passed. **Current Status:** The bill is currently in committee and has not advanced further in the legislative process. It was introduced by Rep. Neal Dunn (R-FL).
