Summary
This joint resolution aims to exercise congressional disapproval over a specific rule promulgated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) . The EPA rule, titled "California State Motor Vehicle and Engine Pollution Control Standards; Advanced Clean Cars II; Waiver of Preemption; Notice of Decision," granted California the authority to implement its own stringent motor vehicle emission standards, known as Advanced Clean Cars II. By invoking chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, Congress seeks to nullify this EPA decision. If passed, the resolution would ensure that the EPA's rule has no force or effect , thereby revoking the waiver that allows California to set standards that differ from federal regulations.
