California to sue Trump administration over ‘shortsighted’ and ‘illegal’ attempt to upend state’s emissions standards

  • California Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta announced a lawsuit on May 22, 2025, in Sacramento to block the federal repeal of the state's 2035 gas-powered car sales ban.
  • The lawsuit follows the Republican-controlled Senate's 51-44 vote on May 22, 2025, to rescind California's EPA waiver allowing stricter vehicle emissions standards under the Clean Air Act.
  • California's Advanced Clean Cars II mandate requires all new cars sold by 2035 to be zero emissions, influencing a dozen states that represent about 11% of the U.S. Car market.
  • Attorney General Bonta called the repeal "shortsighted" and "illegal," stating the Congressional Review Act was wrongly weaponized to attack California's pollution protections.
  • The lawsuit aims to preserve California's authority to set emissions standards, with experts estimating the case could take months and may reach the Supreme Court, affecting national policy.
