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 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 notice from April 2023 that granted California permission to set its own rules for heavy-duty vehicle and engine emissions. Under the Clean Air Act, states are generally not allowed to create their own emission standards, but California can ask for special permission called a waiver. This resolution would undo the EPA's decision to approve that waiver for several California regulations, including rules about heavy-duty vehicle and engine emission warranties and maintenance.
