/ 1 min read
Table of Contents
A member of the House of Representatives introduced a resolution intended to overturn a decision by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EPA had previously granted California a waiver that allows the state to set its own greenhouse gas emission standards for new cars and trucks produced in model years 2009 and later.
Why it matters: This is a procedural attempt to strip California of its authority to regulate vehicle emissions independently of federal standards. If successful, it would change how car manufacturers must comply with environmental rules in California.
Who it affects
- Car manufacturers selling vehicles in California
