The Senate considered Representative John Joyce’s (R-PA) H.J.Res. 88, identical to Chair Shelley Moore Capito’s (R-WV) S.J.Res. 45, an illegitimate Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution of disapproval which seeks to repeal the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) state preemption waiver for California’s Advanced Clean Cars II rule. The CRA is an extreme and blunt tool that is being used by anti-environmental members of Congress who want to permanently strip away protections for our environment, communities, wildlife, and natural heritage. That said, both the non-partisan Government Accountability Office and Senate Parliamentarian ruled that the CRA cannot be used to revoke this waiver, because it is an agency order specifically issued for one state, and is not a rule, nor is it broadly applicable. Eliminating this waiver issued under the Clean Air Act would block California and other states from implementing these standards that drive down fuel costs, safeguard clean air, protect public health, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The elimination of this waiver would stymie expanding the marketplace for fuel-efficient and tailpipe pollution free vehicles while providing crucial benefits to clean air and the climate. On May 22, The Senate approved H.J. Res. 88 by a vote of 51-44 (Senate roll call vote 277). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
