Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "Air Plan Approval; Ohio; Withdrawal of Technical Amendment".

# Summary of HJRES 66 **What the Bill Does:** This bill would overturn a recent Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) decision from January 2025. The EPA had decided to reinstate Ohio's Air Nuisance Rule (ANR) in the state's air quality plan, reversing a 2020 decision that had removed it. If passed, this bill would block that EPA action and keep the ANR out of Ohio's air quality plan. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily affects Ohio residents and businesses, as it concerns the state's air quality standards and regulations.

Under the Clean Air Act, states must maintain air quality plans that meet federal standards, and the ANR relates to how Ohio manages air pollution and emissions. **Current Status:** The bill was introduced by Representative Troy Balderson (R-OH) and is currently in committee. It uses a congressional procedure (called the Congressional Review Act) that allows Congress to disapprove of EPA regulations. The bill has not yet been voted on by the full House or Senate.
