A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Council on Environmental Quality relating to "National Environmental Policy Act Implementing Regulations Revisions Phase 2".

This joint resolution would nullify a recent federal rule that updated how the government conducts environmental reviews for major infrastructure and energy projects. The rule being targeted, known as "Phase 2," requires federal agencies to specifically consider climate change, greenhouse gas emissions, and environmental justice when evaluating the impact of new projects.

If this resolution becomes law, the government would be prohibited from implementing these specific environmental requirements, and the Council on Environmental Quality would be barred from issuing a similar rule in the future without new authorization from Congress. For citizens, this could lead to faster permitting for certain industrial and construction projects, but it would also remove requirements for the government to analyze how those projects might contribute to long-term climate change or disproportionately affect the health of nearby communities.
