Read twice and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works.
S.J.Res. 207 is a congressional resolution that seeks to disapprove and overturn an Environmental Protection Agency rule from 2013 that granted California a waiver to enforce its own vehicle emission standards rather than follow federal standards. The rule allowed California to implement its Advanced Clean Car Program and Zero Emission Vehicle amendments, which set stricter pollution control requirements than the federal Clean Air Act requires. If passed, this resolution would eliminate the EPA's waiver and prevent California from maintaining its independent vehicle emission standards. The measure was introduced by Republican senators in August 2026 and was referred to the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works for further consideration. No specific funding or implementation timeline is outlined in the resolution text.
