Providing 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 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".

This joint resolution takes back special permissions that were given to California's air quality agency for several of its pollution rules related to heavy-duty vehicles and engines. These permissions, called waivers, allowed California to set its own stricter rules for things like vehicle emission warranties, clean trucks, zero-emission airport shuttles, and zero-emission engine certification, even though federal law normally prevents states from creating their own emission standards. The resolution would cancel an official decision by the Environmental Protection Agency that had approved those waivers.
