U.S. Reps. Jay Obernolte (R-CA) and August Pfluger (R-TX) recently unveiled Congressional Review Act resolutions aimed at overturning Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) waivers that allow California regulators to impose emissions requirements beyond federal standards.
Rep. Pfluger the same day unveiled House Joint Resolution (H.J.Res.)
“California should not be allowed to dictate what kind of vehicles Texans and Americans across the country can drive,” Rep. Pfluger said.
“The Biden administration’s decision to reinstate California’s waiver gave one state outsized power to impose its radical emissions standards and EV mandates on the rest of the country.
“I’m proud to introduce this CRA to restore consumer choice, protect American families from costly mandates, and put an end to California setting de facto national auto policy,” added Rep. Pfluger.
