H.J.Res. 210, Environmental Deregulation via CRA. Quorum's AI analysis reads it as a net cost — and names who bears it.
H.J.Res. 210 · Net cost
What it does
This resolution uses the Congressional Review Act to block an EPA rule that allowed California to set stricter pollution standards for ocean-going vessels while docked at ports. If passed, the rule would be nullified and the EPA would be prohibited from reissuing it without new congressional authorization. The effect is to prevent California from enforcing tighter emissions controls on ships at berth.
The analysis names shipping companies and vessel operators — and 1 more group — among the beneficiaries.
The cost
If passed, the EPA cannot reissue the same rule without explicit congressional approval, effectively freezing California's vessel-emissions authority indefinitely.
Transparency scores 95%, with a medium warning level and no provisions unrelated to the bill's subject.
