A group of House Republicans introduced legislation last week to kill a rare climate policy that’s garnered support from Republicans, Democrats and regulated companies.
H.J. Res. 30 from Reps. Neal Dunn of Florida, Andy Ogles of Tennessee, Michael Rulli of Ohio and Mark Messmer of Indiana would scrap EPA’s rule on hydrofluorocarbons, which are powerful greenhouse gases.
Dunn said in a statement that EPA “clearly did not consider the undue burden” on businesses when issuing a “sweeping” rule affecting the refrigeration industry.

The rule’s release late last year means it’s vulnerable to being eliminated under the Congressional Review Act, which allows Congress and the White House to undo rules issued within a certain timeframe.
