Plain-English Summary

Congress would reject the Environmental Protection Agency's new rules for the Renewable Fuel Standard program, which set requirements for how much biofuel must be blended into gasoline and diesel fuel for 2026 and 2027. The resolution would overturn the EPA's decision to reduce cellulosic biofuel requirements for 2025 and other changes to the program, affecting fuel producers, refineries, and potentially gas prices for consumers. This type of action allows Congress to block federal agency rules it disagrees with without going through the normal legislative process.
