This joint resolution seeks to invoke the Congressional Review Act to disapprove a specific rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency. The rule, published in March 2022, is titled "California State Motor Vehicle Pollution Control Standards; Advanced Clean Car Program; Reconsideration of a Previous Withdrawal of a Waiver of Preemption; Notice of Decision." The core purpose of this resolution is to nullify the EPA's action regarding California's authority to set its own vehicle emissions standards . By passing this resolution, Congress would declare that the EPA's rule shall have no force or effect, effectively reversing the agency's decision on the waiver of preemption related to the Advanced Clean Car Program .
