Bill overview
This joint resolution seeks to overturn a rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding California’s vehicle emission standards. Specifically, it aims to block the EPA’s decision to allow California to implement its Advanced Clean Cars II (ACC II) regulations, which set stricter standards for vehicle emissions. Congress is using its authority under the Clean Air Act to disapprove this EPA rule. This action would effectively prevent California from exceeding federal standards for vehicle pollution.
Key provisions
- Congress disapproves the EPA rule.
- The rule’s provisions shall have no force or effect.
- The resolution targets the EPA’s approval of California’s Advanced Clean Cars II regulations.
- It relates to motor vehicle and engine pollution control standards.
- It addresses a waiver of preemption regarding emission standards.
Who is affected
- Environmental Protection Agency
- California Air Resources Board
- Automobile Manufacturers
- California Consumers
- The Federal Government
Notable changes
- This action would limit California’s ability to set stricter vehicle emission standards.
- It potentially reverses a prior EPA decision granting California a waiver.
- It could impact the implementation of the Advanced Clean Cars II program.
