Following a Senate vote, California's clean-air regulations, including those addressing pollution from heavy-duty trucks and mandates for electric vehicle sales, are under threat. California Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta view the Senate's actions as illegal and threaten legal recourse. Newsom emphasizes that this move could harm American automotive leadership and public health, as transportation contributes significantly to emissions both statewide and nationally. California has historically set rigorous vehicle pollution standards since 1960, relying on EPA waivers for regulatory authority.
The Senate is set to target two clean-air regulations in California aimed at reducing heavy-duty truck pollution and increasing electric vehicle sales.
California's Governor and Attorney General deem the Senate's attempt to revoke EPA waivers illegal, pledging to challenge the decision.
