Bill Summary
JOINT RESOLUTION Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Federal Highway Administration relating to ‘‘Waiver of Buy America Requirements for Electric Vehicle Chargers’’.
AI Summary
This Joint Resolution disapproves a rule proposed by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), an agency within the Department of Transportation, that would have waived "Buy America" requirements for electric vehicle (EV) chargers. The "Buy America" provisions generally require that federally funded infrastructure projects use domestically produced goods. By disapproving this rule, Congress is preventing the FHWA from allowing EV chargers that do not meet these domestic content requirements to be purchased with federal funds, thereby reinforcing the intent of Buy America laws for this specific type of infrastructure.
