House member introduces bill to overturn EPA waiver for California vehicle standards

Table of Contents
A member of the House of Representatives has introduced a bill that seeks to overturn a decision by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The target of this action is a specific rule where the EPA granted California a waiver allowing the state to set its own greenhouse gas emission standards for new cars and trucks manufactured in 2009 and later.
Why it matters: This is part of an ongoing legal and regulatory tug-of-war over whether California can set stricter vehicle emissions rules than the rest of the country. If passed, it would block the state’s specific standards for those model years.
