Key Points

Main provisions of the bill

The resolution uses the Congressional Review Act, which allows Congress to overturn recently issued federal agency rules.
It targets an EPA rule published in October 2024 that manages the phasedown of hydrofluorocarbons under the American Innovation and Manufacturing Act of 2020.
Hydrofluorocarbons are greenhouse gases used in cooling systems, and the EPA rule was designed to gradually reduce their production and use.
If this resolution passes both the House and Senate and is signed by the President, the EPA rule would be nullified and have no legal force.
The resolution was introduced in January 2025 and has been referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce for consideration.

How This Impacts Americans

Potential effects on citizens and communities

This resolution would affect manufacturers and users of air conditioning, refrigeration, and other cooling equipment that rely on hydrofluorocarbons. It would also impact companies that produce HFCs or their alternatives, as well as environmental regulations aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. If the EPA rule is canceled, the scheduled reduction in HFC production and use would not proceed as planned under that regulation.
