This bill would reject EPA approval of California's vehicle pollution standards.
The problem
The EPA approved California's stricter car emission rules. Some lawmakers oppose this decision and want Congress to block it.
The proposal
Congress would reject the EPA's approval of California's greenhouse gas emission standards for cars made in 2009 and later.
The impact
Car manufacturers, California, environmental groups, and consumers would be affected by whether stricter pollution rules apply to new vehicles.
Blocking California's standards could lower costs for car companies by avoiding separate production rules for different states. This might reduce expenses that could affect vehicle prices.
One national standard instead of California-specific rules could simplify manufacturing and logistics. This could benefit companies that sell vehicles nationwide.
Rejecting stricter standards might allow more affordable vehicle options. Consumers would have access to a wider price range without California rules driving up costs.
Looser emission rules might allow more diverse fuel technologies. This could reduce dependence on specific technologies like electric vehicles.
Rejecting stricter standards would allow more greenhouse gases and harmful emissions. This could worsen air quality and climate change impacts.
Higher vehicle emissions lead to more respiratory diseases and health problems. Children and elderly people are especially vulnerable to pollution.
California has long had power to set its own clean air standards. This bill would override that state right and federal law that allows it.
Blocking emission standards removes incentives for developing cleaner vehicles and technology. This could delay progress toward sustainable transportation.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself.
