Blocks federal approval for California's stricter car pollution rules.
The Environmental Protection Agency recently approved a rule that let California set its own strict car pollution standards, which other states could also choose to follow. This bill would cancel that federal approval. This means California's stricter rules might not be adopted by other states, affecting car makers and what types of vehicles are available to buyers.
Today, the Environmental Protection Agency's rule allows California to set its own strict car pollution standards, and other states can choose to follow them. If this bill becomes law, that EPA rule would be canceled. This means California's stricter standards would not have federal approval, and other states could not adopt them through this specific waiver.
