This joint resolution would use the Congressional Review Act to cancel a rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on January 26, 2026. That EPA rule disapproved Colorado's plan for reducing regional haze, which is air pollution that limits visibility in places such as national parks, for the program's second implementation period. If the resolution is passed and signed, the EPA rule would have no force or effect.
