Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "Federal 'Good Neighbor Plan' for the 2015 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards".

House Joint Resolution 69 is a proposal to overturn a specific Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulation known as the "Good Neighbor Plan." This EPA rule requires 23 states to reduce smokestack emissions from power plants and industrial facilities to prevent air pollution from drifting across state lines and affecting the air quality of downwind neighbors.

If this resolution becomes law, the EPA would be prohibited from enforcing these specific emission limits, and the agency would be barred from issuing a "substantially similar" rule in the future without new authorization from Congress. For citizens, the bill’s impact centers on the balance between industrial regulation and public health; supporters of the resolution aim to reduce regulatory burdens and costs on energy and manufacturing sectors, while opponents argue that nullifying the rule would lead to increased ground-level ozone (smog) and related respiratory issues in affected regions.
