The House of Representatives passed a measure to disapprove of an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule concerning motor vehicle and engine pollution standards in California. This specific action targets the “Omnibus” Low NOX Regulation, which involves how certain engines are regulated for nitrogen oxide emissions.
Why it matters: This is a procedural action used by Congress to overturn a specific agency rule. It effectively stops the EPA from moving forward with the specific regulatory change it proposed for California’s motor vehicle and engine standards.
