This joint resolution aims to exercise congressional authority under the Congressional Review Act to reject a specific federal regulation. It targets the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) "National Volatile Organic Compound Emission Standards for Aerosol Coatings: Interim Final Rule," which was published in the Federal Register on July 2, 2025. If passed by both chambers of Congress and signed into law, this resolution would formally disapprove the EPA's interim final rule. Consequently, the rule would be rendered without any legal force or effect, preventing its implementation and enforcement.
