Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration relating to Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards for Passenger Cars and Light Trucks for Model Years 2027 and Beyond and Fuel Efficiency Standards for Heavy-Duty Pickup Trucks and Vans for Model Years 2030 and Beyond.
About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · July 30, 2024
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
This joint resolution seeks to block a fuel economy regulation issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that sets new efficiency standards for passenger cars, light trucks, and heavy-duty pickups and vans starting in model years 2027 and 2030. The rule, published in the Federal Register on June 24, 2024, would establish Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards requiring vehicles to meet stricter fuel efficiency requirements going forward. If approved, this resolution would use Congress's disapproval power under federal law to nullify the regulation entirely, preventing it from taking effect. The resolution was introduced by a bipartisan group of 30 senators led by Senator Ted Cruz and referred to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. No specific funding or implementation timeline is mentioned in the resolution itself, as it is designed solely to reject the existing regulatory action.
