S.J.Res. 188 · Net good
What it does
This is a Congressional Review Act resolution that would block an EPA rule repealing pollution standards for coal and oil power plants.
The analysis names Environmental technology and pollution control equipment manufacturers — and 1 more group — among the beneficiaries.
The trade-off
If passed, this resolution would restore the 2012 Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) rule, which the EPA repealed in February 2026. The restored rule would require coal and oil plants to install or upgrade pollution control equipment, raising compliance costs for utilities.
