California sues US EPA over sending emissions rules to Congress for potential reversal
California says the EPA illegally changed 4 waivers that let the state set stricter vehicle-emissions rules and avoid expedited congressional review.
- The state of California sued the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency after the agency sent the Republican-controlled Congress California's vehicle emissions rules for potential repeal.
- The EPA said waivers approved under prior Democratic administrations that granted California authority to enact its own emission standards for vehicles and other equipment should have been sent to Congress under the Congressional Review Act.
- California contended the EPA's action was illegal and would mean more pollution, poorer air quality, and greater health risks, arguing the EPA was seeking to "wave a magic wand" and turn a waiver into a rule.
