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 Pollution Control Standards; Notice of Decision Granting a Waiver of Clean Air Act Preemption for California's 2009 and Subsequent Model Year Greenhouse Gas Emission Standards for New Motor Vehicles".
This joint resolution seeks to overturn a specific rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency that allowed California to set its own stricter greenhouse gas emission standards for new vehicles. By disapproving this waiver, the bill aims to restore federal preemption, ensuring that all states must follow the same national emission rules rather than California's unique requirements. If passed, the measure would effectively cancel the EPA's decision, forcing automakers to comply with uniform federal standards for vehicle pollution control.
