President Signs Congressional Review Act Ending California's Electric Vehicle Mandate
President Trump officially signed several Congressional Review Act resolutions yesterday, effectively overturning California’s electric vehicle mandate, its phaseout of medium- and heavy-duty diesel vehicle sales and a rule related to tailpipe emissions from trucks. Historically, California has relied on waivers from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to implement more stringent environmental regulations. However, concerns from other states that these policies could have nationwide effects helped drive efforts in Washington, D.C., to reverse initiatives from the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
CARB is now weighing legal options to preserve portions of its emissions mandates, meaning this issue may soon head to the courts. Farm Bureau will continue monitoring developments and provide updates to members. Staff Contact: Matthew Viohl, mviohl@cfbf.com
