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 Pollution Control Standards; Notice of Decision Granting a Waiver of Clean Air Act Preemption for California's Advanced Clean Car Program and a Within the Scope Conformation for California's Zero Emission Vehicle Amendments for 2017 and Earlier Model Years".

This joint resolution aims to exercise congressional disapproval, under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of a specific rule previously submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) . The targeted EPA rule, issued in 2013, granted California a crucial waiver of Clean Air Act preemption for its Advanced Clean Car Program and confirmed its Zero Emission Vehicle Amendments for 2017 and earlier model years. The EPA's decision allowed California to establish and enforce its own, often stricter, motor vehicle pollution control standards, including requirements for zero-emission vehicles, separate from federal regulations. If this joint resolution is passed, the EPA's rule would be rendered null and void, effectively revoking California's waiver and potentially preventing the state from implementing these specific vehicle emission standards.
