Key Points

Main provisions of the bill

The resolution uses the Congressional Review Act, which allows Congress to overturn recently issued federal regulations.
It targets an EPA rule published in April 2024 that establishes Phase 3 greenhouse gas emission standards for heavy-duty vehicles.
Heavy-duty vehicles include large trucks, buses, and other commercial vehicles that weigh more than typical passenger cars.
If this resolution passes both chambers of Congress and is signed by the President, the EPA rule would be completely nullified.
The resolution was introduced in the House and referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce for consideration.

How This Impacts Americans

Potential effects on citizens and communities

This resolution would primarily affect manufacturers of heavy-duty trucks and buses, as well as companies that operate fleets of these vehicles. If the resolution passes, these manufacturers and operators would not have to comply with the stricter greenhouse gas emission standards that the EPA rule would have required. Environmental groups and communities concerned about air quality and climate change would also be affected, as the cancellation would mean fewer restrictions on emissions from large commercial vehicles.
