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 Advanced Clean Car Program and a Within the Scope Conformation for California's Zero Emission Vehicle Amendments for 2017 and Earlier Model Years".

Summary

The joint resolution would have Congress disapprove an EPA rule that granted California a waiver from Clean Air Act preemption, allowing the state to enforce its own advanced clean‑car and zero‑emission vehicle standards for model years up to 2017. If adopted, the disapproval would block the EPA’s decision and keep the federal standards in place for those vehicles. The measure reflects congressional opposition to expanding California’s authority over emissions rules.
