What H.J.Res. 213 does
H.J.Res. 213 would undo a federal approval for California's updated rules on commercial harbor craft. The California Air Resources Board amended its Commercial Harbor Craft regulation to set new emission standards and compliance dates by vessel category and engine model year, and to cover more types of vessels, such as commercial fishing boats. The Environmental Protection Agency partially authorized those amendments.
The resolution would nullify that EPA decision, which would revoke the partial authorization California received to enforce the amended rules.
