This joint resolution, introduced by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse on August 1, 2025, would use chapter 8 of title 5, U.S. Code (the Congressional Review Act) to disapprove the Environmental Protection Agency rule titled "National Volatile Organic Compound Emission Standards for Aerosol Coatings: Interim Final Rule" (90 Fed. Reg. 28904 (July 2, 2025)). The text says that if Congress disapproves the rule, "such rule shall have no force or effect." The resolution has been read twice and referred to the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works.
If Congress passes this resolution and the President signs it, the EPA interim rule on volatile organic compound (VOC) emission standards for aerosol coatings would be nullified and would not apply. If the resolution does not become law, the EPA rule would remain in effect. As of the document date, the resolution is in committee and is not enacted.
