Representative August Pfluger is the primary sponsor of hjres35-119, which would nullify an EPA rule requiring Oil & Gas companies to pay annual charges on methane emissions exceeding specified thresholds. Pfluger sponsored this bill to facilitate congressional disapproval of the EPA's Waste Emissions Charge rule. Oil & Gas donors represent 10.7% of Pfluger's identifiable donor base ($1.85M, ranking fourth among their party), and Oil & Gas industry groups filed 7,320 lobbying reports since 2022 on related issues.
