Read twice and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works.
This measure would overturn an EPA decision that let California enforce its stricter “Omnibus Low NOx” rules for heavy‑duty vehicle and engine emissions. The EPA’s notice had granted California a waiver so the state could apply these stronger standards; this resolution would nullify that notice, removing the waiver approval . The EPA notice at issue is titled “California State Motor Vehicle and Engine and Nonroad Engine Pollution Control Standards; The Omnibus Low NOX Regulation; Waiver of Preemption; Notice of Decision” .
If this becomes law, California would no longer have that federal approval to enforce its “Omnibus Low NOx” requirements for heavy‑duty vehicles and engines, because the underlying EPA decision would be canceled .
