House Votes To Overturn California Clean Truck Rules – Defying GAO

"The House on Wednesday voted to axe California’s clean truck rules — defying Congress’s own internal watchdog in doing so.

The House voted to nix the Biden administration’s approval of the California rules, which aim to cut pollution and planet-warming emissions from trucks, using a using a tool known as the Congressional Review Act (CRA).

One of the truck rules the House voted to overturn explicitly seeks to make more trucks electric, while the other seeks to limit emissions of nitrogen oxides, which can form smog and also contribute to asthma and respiratory infections.

The measures passed 231-191 and 225-196."
