hold on there's just too much going on in Congress lmao...
Disapproves EPA's Renewable Fuel Standard rule for 2026-2027.
Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) and Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX).
Introduced in the House, referred to committee.
This joint resolution aims to block a specific rule from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) concerning the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program for 2026 and 2027, as well as a partial waiver for the 2025 cellulosic biofuel volume requirement. It was introduced by Representatives Scott Perry (R-PA) and Chip Roy (R-TX) and referred to the House Energy and Commerce Committee. If passed and enacted, the EPA rule would have no legal effect.
Introduced Apr 20, 2026
This bill has been introduced in the House of Representatives and referred to the House Energy and Commerce Committee. For it to become law, it would need to pass both the House and the Senate, and then be signed by the President. If passed, it would directly invalidate the EPA rule mentioned.
If this resolution passes, the Environmental Protection Agency's new rule, which sets specific renewable fuel standards for 2026 and 2027 and includes a partial waiver for 2025 cellulosic biofuel, would be nullified. This means the fuel blending requirements and cellulosic biofuel mandates would revert to their status before the EPA issued this rule. This could affect the types and amounts of renewable fuels blended into gasoline and diesel.
Supporters Say
Supporters likely argue the EPA rule is burdensome or inappropriate, and its disapproval would prevent negative impacts.
Critics Say
Critics would argue the EPA rule is necessary for environmental goals or energy independence, and its disapproval would hinder those efforts.
Arguments in favor would likely center on concerns about the cost or feasibility of the EPA's biofuel mandates for the fuel industry, or the potential impact on consumers. Opponents would likely emphasize the importance of the Renewable Fuel Standard for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting domestic energy production.
