GOP-controlled House votes to block California from phasing out sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035

Quick Summary:

California for decades has been given the authority to adopt vehicle emissions standards that are stricter than the federal government's.

Republicans used the Congressional Review Act, a law aimed at improving congressional oversight of actions by federal agencies, to try to block the rules.

The Trump administration in 2019 revoked California’s ability to enforce its own emissions standards, but Biden later restored the state’s authority.
