Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This joint resolution would overturn an Environmental Protection Agency rule that allowed California to set its own vehicle pollution standards, including requirements for zero emission vehicles and advanced clean car programs. The EPA rule, originally issued in 2013, granted California a waiver under the Clean Air Act that permits the state to impose stricter vehicle emissions standards than federal requirements. If passed, this resolution would eliminate that waiver and prevent California from enforcing its own pollution control standards for vehicles from model year 2017 and earlier. The measure uses the congressional disapproval process, a fast-track mechanism that allows Congress to reject federal regulations. The resolution does not include specific funding provisions or implementation timelines beyond the immediate nullification of the EPA rule.
