In plain English
Sen. Jon Husted (R-OH) introduced this resolution to block an EPA rule that reinstates California's authority to set its own vehicle pollution standards under the Advanced Clean Car Program. The rule reverses a previous Trump administration decision that had withdrawn a waiver allowing California to impose stricter emissions rules than federal standards. The resolution uses the Congressional Review Act process, which allows Congress to reject federal agency rules with a simple majority vote.
