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 Pollution Control Standards; Notice of Decision Granting a Waiver of Clean Air Act Preemption for California's Advanced Clean Car Program and a Within the Scope Confirmation for California's Zero Emission Vehicle Amendments for 2017 and Earlier Model Years".
This joint resolution seeks to overturn a specific Environmental Protection Agency rule that allowed California to set its own stricter vehicle emission standards. If passed, the bill would cancel the waiver that permits California to enforce the Advanced Clean Car Program and related zero emission vehicle rules for cars made in 2017 and earlier. The measure directly affects vehicle manufacturers and California residents by aiming to restore the federal government's authority to set uniform national emission standards instead of state-specific ones.
