Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

1 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Nullify EPA Indiana regional haze rule

If enacted, this joint resolution would disapprove and nullify the Environmental Protection Agency rule titled "Air Plan Approval; Indiana; Regional Haze Plan for the Second Implementation Period" (91 Fed. Reg. 3057 (January 26, 2026)). The rule would have no force or effect. That would remove federal requirements tied to that EPA approval for Indiana state agencies and regulated businesses. It would likely lower compliance costs for those agencies and businesses. It could also reduce federal air-quality protections for Indiana residents. The change would take effect upon enactment.
