No cosponsors on record. Bills can pass without cosponsors — this often means the sponsor introduced the bill alone, either because it's a messaging bill, a chairman's mark, or simply early in the legislative cycle.

Read twice and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works.

Congress would reject an Environmental Protection Agency rule that extended deadlines for oil and gas companies to meet new climate pollution standards. The rule gave companies more time to comply with requirements aimed at reducing methane and other emissions from oil and natural gas operations. If passed, this resolution would overturn the EPA's deadline extension and require the original, faster compliance timeline to take effect.
