The U.S. Senate is preparing to block California's stringent vehicle emissions standards, including a ban on new gas-powered car sales by 2035. Majority Leader John Thune announced that they would consider three resolutions from the House aimed at overturning these rules. This action conflicts with the advice of the Senate Parliamentarian and comes amidst bipartisan questions on regulatory authority. Republicans argue the standards threaten the economy and impose excessive regulations, while more than a dozen states have adopted California's rules, indicating a broader regional shift towards stricter emissions policies.
"The Senate will begin to consider three House-passed resolutions that would roll back the standards, aiming for votes as soon as this week."
"Republicans argue that California's emission rules impose what would eventually be a nationwide electric vehicle mandate, claiming it endangers consumers and the economy."
