Providing 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; Heavy-Duty Vehicle and Engine Emission Warranty and Maintenance Provisions; Advanced Clean Trucks; Zero Emission Airport Shuttle; Zero-Emission Power Train Certification; Waiver of Preemption; Notice of Decision".

What this bill does

  • This resolution nullifies an EPA decision that allowed California to set its own heavy-duty vehicle emission standards.
  • It affects California's ability to regulate truck and engine pollution, and companies operating in that state.
  • The resolution uses the Congressional Review Act to block the EPA rule that was published in April 2023.
