This bill significantly amends the Clean Air Act by targeting specific provisions related to state-level emission standards, primarily aiming to eliminate the unique authority granted to California regarding motor vehicle emission regulations. The legislation seeks to standardize emission controls across the nation by centralizing regulatory power. Specifically, the bill repeals Section 209(b) of the Clean Air Act, which allows the Environmental Protection Agency to grant waivers to California for its distinct motor vehicle emission standards. This repeal would invalidate all existing waivers and deny any pending applications, effectively ending California's ability to set standards more stringent than federal ones. Furthermore, the bill repeals Section 177, which currently authorizes other states to adopt emission standards identical to those established by California. The legislation also introduces a new prohibition, preventing any state or political subdivision from adopting or enforcing emission standards for nonroad engines or vehicles , including those used in construction, agriculture, and locomotives. These comprehensive changes aim to streamline environmental regulations by removing state-specific deviations from federal standards.
