H.J. Res. 214 is a joint resolution introduced in the House on August 10, 2026, by Representative Jay Obernolte. The text says that Congress disapproves the Environmental Protection Agency rule titled "California State Nonroad Engine Pollution Control Standards; Small Off-Road Engines Regulations; Notice of Decision" (90 Fed. Reg. 640, January 6, 2025). The resolution states that the rule "shall have no force or effect." The resolution was referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. The bill text contains only the disapproval statement and the reference to chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code.
If enacted, this resolution would nullify the specific EPA rule named in the text so that the rule would have no force or effect. The resolution itself does not describe the content of the EPA rule or list who would be affected. The bill is currently at the committee referral stage.
