Blocks EPA rule extending pollution deadlines for power plants

This bill would block a new rule from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). That rule would have given steam electric power plants more time to meet certain pollution standards. If this bill passes, those deadline extensions would not happen, meaning the original deadlines for pollution control would remain in place.

What Would Change

Today, an EPA rule would extend deadlines for steam electric power plants to meet certain pollution standards. If this bill passes, that EPA rule would be canceled. This means the deadline extensions would not happen, and power plants would still need to meet the original pollution control deadlines.

Key Provisions

Blocks the Environmental Protection Agency's rule that would have extended deadlines for steam electric power plants to meet pollution standards.
