This joint resolution would nullify an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule titled "California State Motor Vehicle and Engine Pollution Control Standards; Heavy-Duty Vehicle and Engine Emission Warranty and Maintenance Provisions; Advanced Clean Trucks; Zero Emission Airport Shuttle; Zero-Emission Power Train Certification; Waiver of Preemption; Notice of Decision" (88 Fed. Reg. 20688, April 6, 2023). The resolution states that Congress disapproves that EPA rule and that the rule "shall have no force or effect." The resolution was introduced in the Senate on April 4, 2025, read twice, and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works.
If this resolution becomes effective, the specific EPA rule cited would be declared to have no force or effect. The bill text itself does not describe how that change would affect specific people, businesses, or state programs. The resolution is currently in committee and has not been enacted.
