New pollution rules for small engines like lawnmowers would be stopped.

This bill would cancel a specific rule from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). That rule set pollution standards for small off-road engines, like those found in lawnmowers or leaf blowers. If this bill passes, those new pollution rules would not take effect, affecting manufacturers and users of these engines.

What Would Change

Currently, the Environmental Protection Agency's rule (90 Fed. Reg. 640 (January 6, 2025)) about pollution standards for small off-road engines is in effect or would soon take effect. If this bill becomes law, that specific EPA rule would be canceled by Congress and would no longer have any legal power.

Key Provisions

Blocks the Environmental Protection Agency's rule on pollution standards for small off-road engines.
Ensures that the EPA's rule (90 Fed. Reg. 640, January 6, 2025) about California's small engine pollution standards would not be enforced.
