Senators seeking to block California from enforcing new zero-emission vehicle standards and strict emissions regulations are set to vote on the matter this week, Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) said on May 20.
Speaking from the Senate floor, Thune said lawmakers will be moving forward this week with three House-passed resolutions that use the Congressional Review Act (CRA)—a tool that can be used by Congress to overturn rules issued by federal agencies with a simple majority vote—to reverse waivers granted to the state by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
