On the Motion to Proceed
On the Joint Resolution
The House voted 246-164 to overturn the EPA waiver for California's Advanced Clean Cars II rule. Thirty-five Democrats joined Republicans in the vote, which targets the state's plan to phase out gas-powered vehicle sales by 2035 and could reshape the trajectory of the U.S. electric vehicle transition.
In a continuing clash between the Trump administration and California, the EPA has disapproved state rules for out-of-state truck inspections. This follows last year's successful effort by congressional Republicans to use the Review Act to overturn several other California environmental waivers.
