The House will take up Republican legislation next week to undo Biden administration approvals for California to set emissions rules that critics say amount to an electric vehicle mandate.
The Congressional Review Act resolutions would nullify EPA waivers under the Clean Air Act, waivers for rules that would propel EV sales across the country. Republicans, automakers, and oil and gas interests have called the standards unrealistic and a radical mandate.
The resolutions include H.J. Res. 88, from Rep. John Joyce (R-Pa.), which would reverse the Biden EPA’s waiver for California to phase out gasoline-powered cars.
H.R. Res. 89, from Rep. Jay Obernolte (R-Calif.), would scrap EPA’s waiver for nitrogen oxide engine emission standards. And H.J. Res. 87, from Rep. John James (R-Mich.), deals with rules on trucks.
