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 would cancel an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) notice from April 2023 that approved California's request for special permission to set its own rules on pollution from heavy-duty vehicles and engines. Under current law, states generally can't create their own vehicle emission standards, but California can ask the federal government for an exception to that rule. This resolution would undo the EPA's decision to grant that exception for several California regulations, including rules about heavy-duty vehicle emissions and related requirements like zero-emission trucks and airport shuttles.
