Senate clears way to block clean air standards in California, including vehicle emission rules
- On May 22, 2025, the U.S. Senate passed two resolutions in Washington to nullify California's electric vehicle mandates and emissions rules for trucks.
- These resolutions follow the American Trucking Associations urging Republican leaders to vote on measures previously passed by the House to overturn EPA waivers for California's regulations.
- Resolutions championed by Senators Fischer and Mullin revoke EPA waivers allowing 11 and 10 states to enforce the Advanced Clean Trucks and Low NOx Omnibus rules, which require increasing zero-emission vehicle sales and stricter emissions standards.
- Trucks now emit 99% less nitrogen oxide than decades ago, and 60 current trucks emit what one did in 1988, while the resolutions restore EPA's nationwide authority and block California from setting national policies.
- The American Trucking Associations called the Senate votes a "monumental victory," citing avoided economic harm and asserting that federal leadership ended unelected state control over trucking rules.
