What this bill would do

This bill aims to nullify a specific final rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency. The rule in question concerns standards for greenhouse gas emissions from new, modified, and reconstructed fossil fuel-fired electric generating units. It also addresses emission guidelines for existing fossil fuel-fired electric generating units and the repeal of the Affordable Clean Energy Rule. By passing this act, the specified EPA rule would have no force or effect.
