Senate Joint Resolution 24 (S.J. Res. 24) of the 114th United States Congress was a 2016 legislative measure introduced under the Congressional Review Act (CRA) of 1996 to overturn the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Clean Power Plan. The Clean Power Plan, finalized in 2015 under the Obama administration, established the first national standards to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from existing fossil fuel-fired power plants by 32% below 2005 levels by 2030. Sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and co-sponsored by numerous Republican senators, the resolution argued the EPA exceeded its authority and imposed undue economic burdens on the energy sector, particularly coal-dependent states. Introduced on March 17, 2015, it passed the Senate on November 17, 2015, by a vote of 52-46, largely along party lines, but stalled in the House of Representatives and did not become law, as President Obama indicated he would veto it. The effort highlighted deep partisan divides on climate policy and regulatory overreach, influencing subsequent debates and the Trump administration's later withdrawal of the Clean Power Plan in 2017 via executive action. While unsuccessful at the time, it set a precedent for CRA resolutions under the incoming Trump administration and exemplified the use of the CRA as a tool for congressional oversight of agency rules.
