Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of the Treasury relating to "Clean Vehicle Credits Under Sections 25E and 30D; Transfer of Credits; Critical Minerals and Battery Components; Foreign Entities of Concern".

HJRES 179 is a resolution seeking to block a Treasury Department rule that set new requirements for clean vehicle tax credits. The rule, issued May 6, 2024, would have restricted tax credits for electric vehicles using batteries containing critical minerals sourced from certain foreign companies linked to national security concerns. This resolution would nullify the rule under the Congressional Review Act, preventing it from taking effect. It directly affects consumers seeking tax credits on electric vehicles and manufacturers selling vehicles subject to these new sourcing rules.
