S.C.R. No. 27 Summary

• Urges Congress to adopt legislation invalidating Environmental Protection Agency regulations related to greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide.

• Asserts that EPA regulation of greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act without Congressional input violates the separation of powers principle.

• Claims that greenhouse gas regulations would harm the U.S. economy, reduce global competitiveness, and lower citizens' standard of living, particularly during economic recovery when unemployment exceeds ten percent.

• References pending Congressional joint resolutions (Senate Joint Resolution 26 and House Joint Resolutions 76 and 77) introduced under the Congressional Review Act to overrule the EPA's endangerment finding for greenhouse gases.

• Directs the Ohio Senate Clerk to transmit copies of the resolution to Congressional leadership, Ohio's Congressional delegation, and Ohio media.
