SJRES 24 uses the Congressional Review Act to cancel an EPA rule finalized in November 2024 that set stricter limits on hazardous air pollutants from rubber tire manufacturing plants. If passed by both chambers and signed by the President, the rule would be permanently voided and could not be reissued in a similar form. Emission standards at tire plants would revert to the older rules that existed before November 2024.
Workers and communities near rubber tire manufacturing facilities are most directly affected, as the canceled rule was designed to reduce their exposure to toxic chemicals. Rubber tire manufacturers and their employees are also affected, as the original EPA rule would have required companies to invest in updated equipment and processes.
Canceling the rule means rubber tire plants would not be required to meet the newer, stricter emission standards set in November 2024. This bill is also part of a broader pattern of Congress using the Congressional Review Act to roll back regulations finalized near the end of a previous administration.
