Bill Summary
A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "California State Motor Vehicle and Engine Pollution Control Standards; Advanced Clean Cars II; Waiver of Preemption; Notice of Decision".
AI Summary
This joint resolution aims to nullify a specific rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding California's motor vehicle emissions standards known as the Advanced Clean Cars II program. The resolution uses the Congressional Review Act (Chapter 8 of Title 5, United States Code), which allows Congress to review and potentially overturn new federal regulations. Specifically, the resolution targets the EPA's decision to grant California a waiver of preemption, which would allow the state to implement stricter vehicle pollution control standards than federal regulations. By passing this resolution, Congress would effectively invalidate the EPA's rule, preventing it from having any legal force or effect. The rule in question was published in the Federal Register on January 6, 2025, and relates to California's ambitious plan to reduce vehicle emissions and combat climate change. If successful, the resolution would block California from implementing its more stringent vehicle emission standards, which aim to accelerate the transition to zero-emission vehicles.
