Latest action: Became Public Law No: 119-2.
Signed into law by the President (or passed over a veto). Now public law.
The President signed the bill into law (or Congress overrode a veto). It's now public law and federal agencies will implement it.
Congress rejected an EPA rule about charging for natural gas and oil emissions.
The problem
The EPA created a rule requiring companies to pay fees for certain emissions from oil and natural gas operations. Some groups opposed this rule.
The proposal
This resolution disapproves of the EPA's emissions charge rule, effectively canceling or stopping it from taking effect.
The impact
Oil and natural gas companies avoid new fees. Environmental groups lose a tool to reduce emissions. Energy costs may stay lower for consumers.
Oil and natural gas companies avoid paying new emissions fees, reducing their operating costs. This may help them stay profitable and competitive.
Companies don't have to follow new complex EPA fee procedures. Less paperwork and fewer compliance costs mean easier operations.
Without new emissions charges, energy companies may keep consumer prices lower for natural gas and oil products.
Fees encourage companies to reduce harmful emissions. Without this rule, companies have less financial incentive to cut pollution from oil and gas operations.
This rule was designed to help fight climate change by charging for emissions. Removing it weakens federal climate protection efforts.
The fees would have generated money for the government. Canceling the rule eliminates this potential revenue source.
Lower emission reduction may lead to more air pollution from oil and gas operations, potentially affecting public health in affected areas.

Individual contributions, grouped by employer · FEC

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
