Congress votes to reject EPA's approval of California's vehicle emissions standards.
The problem
The EPA approved California's stricter greenhouse gas emission standards for cars. Opponents argue this undermines federal authority and harms automakers.
The proposal
This resolution disapproves the EPA's decision to let California set its own vehicle emission rules under the Clean Air Act.
The impact
Automakers, California, and environmental groups. Could affect car pollution rules nationwide and auto industry manufacturing decisions.
This resolution asserts Congress's power over national environmental policy rather than allowing individual states to set standards. It creates consistent rules across all states instead of multiple conflicting requirements.
Companies won't need to manufacture different vehicles for California versus other states. Simpler production could lower vehicle prices and reduce business complexity.
One national standard is simpler than states setting different rules. This reduces confusion in the marketplace and streamlines manufacturing processes.
California's standards reduce vehicle emissions more than federal rules. Rejecting this approval slows progress on fighting climate change and air pollution.
California has historically led environmental innovation. This resolution removes states' ability to protect their citizens from air pollution.
Stricter emission standards reduce smog and respiratory illness. Weaker standards mean dirtier air, especially in California and pollution-prone regions.
The Clean Air Act has allowed California waivers for decades under Republican and Democratic administrations. This breaks established policy tradition.

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.
