President Trump has signed into law legislation introduced by Senator John Curtis to overturn the Biden era EPA’s ‘Review of Final Rule Reclassification of Major Sources as Area Sources’. According to the announcement from Senator Curtis, this rule prevented many industries vital to our nation’s economic and national security from reclassifying as Area Sources and discouraged efforts to reduce emissions. The Senator’s Congressional Review Act (CRA) joint resolution of disapproval received a vote of 52-46 in the Senate and 216-212 in the House prior to being sent to the President’s desk where it has now been signed. “The rule put forward under the former administration shut the door on progress,” shares Senator Curtis. “It told companies that no matter how much they invest to reduce harmful emissions, they would still be punished with permanent red tape. That’s not good science, it’s not good governance, and it certainly isn’t good for the environment.” The new legislation overturns the EPA rule.
