A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards for the Steam Electric Power Generating Point Source Category-Deadline Extensions; Correction".

S.J.Res. 120 is a Congressional Review Act resolution that would disapprove an EPA rule issued in December 2025 and corrected in January 2026. The EPA rule extended compliance deadlines for wastewater discharge standards that apply to coal-fired power plants, giving facilities additional time to comply with limits on pollutants like arsenic, mercury, and selenium in wastewater. The EPA stated the extensions would help power plants meet increased electricity demand while maintaining water quality protections.

If this resolution passes both chambers of Congress and is signed by the President, it would nullify the EPA's deadline extension rule. This would reinstate the original, stricter compliance deadlines for power plants to meet wastewater pollution standards. The resolution would also prevent the EPA from issuing a substantially similar rule in the future without explicit congressional authorization. The resolution is currently in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full Senate.
