This joint resolution would disapprove a rule the Environmental Protection Agency submitted titled "California State Motor Vehicle and Engine Pollution Control Standards; Advanced Clean Cars II; Waiver of Preemption; Notice of Decision" (90 Fed. Reg. 642 (January 6, 2025)). The resolution says that the EPA rule "shall have no force or effect." It is filed as a congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code.
If enacted, the congressional disapproval would nullify the specific EPA rule named in the resolution so that the rule would not have legal effect. The measure was introduced in the Senate on April 4, 2025, and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works.
