House Votes to Block California's Strict EV Rules | JQJO

The US House voted to overturn three federal waivers allowing California to set stricter vehicle emission standards than the federal government. These waivers permit California to mandate zero-emission vehicles by 2035 and stricter rules for heavy trucks. This action, using the Congressional Review Act, is opposed by nonpartisan government entities who believe it's legally flawed. The Senate will decide whether to uphold the House vote, potentially leading to legal challenges. Automakers oppose California's rules, citing low consumer demand, while environmental groups support stricter regulations for public health and climate reasons.
