This bill would change the Clean Air Act to remove a special federal waiver that has let California set its own motor vehicle emissions rules different from federal standards. It would also remove a separate rule that allowed other States to adopt new motor vehicle emission standards identical to California's. The bill says that any waivers issued before the date it becomes law would no longer have any force, and any waiver applications pending on that date would be considered denied. It also adds a rule that no State or local government may adopt or enforce standards for emissions from certain nonroad engines or vehicles, including construction and farm equipment and locomotives. The bill includes many technical and conforming changes to other sections of the Clean Air Act to reflect these repeals and removals.
