A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "California State Motor Vehicle Pollution Control Standards; Notice of Decision Granting a Waiver of Clean Air Act Preemption for California's Advanced Clean Car Program and a Within the Scope Conformation for California's Zero Emission Vehicle Amendments for 2017 and Earlier Model Years".
This bill, SJR207, aims to disapprove a rule set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding California's vehicle pollution control standards. Specifically, it targets the EPA's decision to grant California a waiver for its Advanced Clean Car Program and confirm its amendments for zero-emission vehicles for 2017 and earlier model years.
The bill would affect California and automakers that produce vehicles sold in the state. If passed, it would invalidate the EPA's rule, potentially leading to stricter or different pollution control standards for vehicles sold in California. This could impact car buyers, manufacturers, and the environment by affecting vehicle emissions standards.
Currently, SJR207 has been introduced and referred to the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. This is the first step in its legislative journey, and further action will depend on the committee's review and recommendations.
