California's government is suing the federal government after Congress revoked its electric vehicle mandate and air quality regulations. This legislative move aims to block California's capability to regulate pollution from vehicles. California, which has regulated its own vehicle pollution since the 1960s, argues that its strict standards have improved air quality and public health. Using the Congressional Review Act, Senate Republicans circumvented the filibuster, though this action has been deemed illegal by both the Senate parliamentarian and the Government Accountability Office. This legal battle reflects ongoing tensions over environmental regulation authority.
The Congressional Review Act was utilized by Republicans to revoke California's ability to enforce stricter vehicle emissions standards for air pollution.
California's authority to manage vehicle pollution has historically contributed to significant improvements in air quality and public health through stringent emissions standards.
