To nullify the final rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "New Source Performance Standards for Greenhouse Gas Emissions From New, Modified, and Reconstructed Fossil Fuel-Fired Electric Generating Units; Emission Guidelines for Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Existing Fossil Fuel-Fired Electric Generating Units; and Repeal of the Affordable Clean Energy Rule".

This bill would cancel an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule that set greenhouse gas limits for fossil fuel power plants. If enacted, the EPA’s rule titled “New Source Performance Standards for Greenhouse Gas Emissions From New, Modified, and Reconstructed Fossil Fuel-Fired Electric Generating Units; Emission Guidelines for Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Existing Fossil Fuel-Fired Electric Generating Units; and Repeal of the Affordable Clean Energy Rule” would have no force or effect.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Power plants that burn fossil fuels (like coal and natural gas), and the utilities that run them.
• What changes: The EPA’s greenhouse gas standards and guidelines for these plants would be undone; the rule would no longer apply.
• When: The nullification would take effect once the bill becomes law.
