A joint resolution providing for 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 Pollution Control Standards; Notice of Decision Granting a Waiver of Clean Air Act Preemption for California's 2009 and Subsequent Model Year Greenhouse Gas Emission Standards for New Motor Vehicles".

Summary

The Senate joint resolution would use congressional disapproval authority to reject the EPA rule that granted California a waiver from federal preemption, letting the state enforce its own greenhouse‑gas limits on new cars. If adopted, the waiver would be nullified, returning vehicle emissions regulation solely to the federal level. This would affect California, auto manufacturers, and the EPA's regulatory role.
