HJRES 212 United States House · 119th Congress

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 Pollution Control Standards; Advanced Clean Car Program; Reconsideration of a Previous Withdrawal of a Waiver of Preemption; Notice of Decision".

This joint resolution seeks to overturn a specific rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency regarding California's Advanced Clean Car Program. If passed, the measure would nullify the EPA's decision to reconsider a previous withdrawal of a waiver that allowed California to set stricter vehicle emission standards than the federal government. The bill directly affects the automotive industry and state regulators by preventing the implementation of these new, state-specific pollution controls. Essentially, it aims to stop the EPA from enforcing a rule that would have expanded California's authority to regulate vehicle emissions.
