Bill to protect America from CARB regulations and their effects.
The problem
California's Air Resources Board (CARB) sets vehicle emission standards that other states adopt, affecting national vehicle manufacturing and costs.
The proposal
Limits CARB's authority over vehicle emissions standards and prevents other states from adopting California's stricter regulations without federal approval.
The impact
Affects automakers, states, consumers buying vehicles, and air quality in regions that follow California's emission standards.
Prevents more expensive emission control requirements, potentially reducing vehicle prices for consumers. Manufacturers could use simpler technology if meeting only federal standards.
Creates one national standard instead of multiple state standards. Automakers could design vehicles for one market rather than several different regulations.
Simplifies compliance for car manufacturers by eliminating state-by-state variations. Companies spend less on legal and engineering resources to meet different requirements.
Keeps environmental regulation authority at federal level. Ensures consistent policy nationwide rather than patchwork state regulations.
California's standards reduce air pollution more than federal requirements. Eliminating stricter standards could increase smog and health problems in some regions.
Weaker emission standards mean more air pollution and respiratory diseases. Healthcare costs could increase for communities breathing dirtier air.
Prevents states from setting their own environmental standards. Removes state flexibility to address local air quality problems.
Less stringent vehicle emissions contribute to climate change. Weakens efforts to reduce greenhouse gases from transportation.

Individual contributions, grouped by employer · FEC

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. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
