Enacted
Providing congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "California State Motor Vehicle and Engine Pollution Control Standards; Heavy-Duty Vehicle and Engine Emission Warranty and Maintenance Provisions; Advanced Clean Trucks; Zero Emission Airport Shuttle; Zero-Emission Power Train Certification; Waiver of Preemption; Notice of Decision".
This resolution overturns an Environmental Protection Agency decision that allowed California to set its own strict rules for heavy-duty commercial vehicles. If enacted, California would lose the authority to require manufacturers to sell an increasing percentage of zero-emission trucks, vans, and airport shuttles. The measure also wipes out California's stricter warranty and maintenance requirements for heavy-duty engines, keeping commercial vehicle standards under federal limits.
