OH HCR49

Urges U.S. Congress to adopt S.J. Resolution 37 to disapprove the EPA's Mercury and Air Toxics Standards Rule for coal and oil-fueled electric generating plants promulgated on February 16, 2012.

Identifies the rule as the single most expensive EPA regulation on the electric power generation sector, costing $9.6 billion annually by 2016 with total costs of $90 billion.

Contends the rule will increase electricity prices for residential, commercial, and industrial consumers, disproportionately harm lower-income and fixed-income families, and cause further manufacturing job losses.

States that coal power plant owners have already invested nearly $100 billion in meeting clean air requirements and reduced major air pollutant emissions by 90% per kilowatt-hour.

Directs the House Clerk to transmit authenticated copies of the resolution to the EPA Administrator, U.S. House and Senate leadership, Ohio's Congressional delegation, and Ohio news media.
