California to sue Trump administration over ‘shortsighted’ and ‘illegal’ attempt to upend state’s emissions standards
- California Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta announced plans to sue the federal government after the Senate blocked the state's 2035 ban on new gas-powered car sales.
- The Senate's 51-44 vote repealed California's EPA waiver that enabled stricter vehicle emissions standards, with the measure now awaiting President Trump's expected signature.
- California's rule, followed by about a dozen states covering roughly 11% of the U.S. Car market, aimed for 100% zero-emission new car sales by 2035 to reduce polluting tailpipe emissions.
- Newsom stated this vote is not about electric vehicles but "polluters being able to pollute more," while AG Bonta called the repeal 'shortsighted,' 'illegal,' and an unprecedented federal overreach.
- The lawsuit aims to preserve California’s Clean Air Act authority, signaling ongoing conflict over states' rights to set environmental standards amid concerns over public health and climate impact.
