US EditionUS Senate to vote this week on bill to bar California 2035 EV plan
- The U.S. Senate will vote this week on three House-passed resolutions aimed at blocking California's vehicle emissions standards, including a 2035 gas-powered car ban.
- Senate Republicans, led by Majority Leader John Thune, are pushing this move despite opposition from Democrats, some Republicans, and advice from the Senate Parliamentarian.
- The resolutions would roll back California’s stricter emissions rules that phase out new gas-powered cars by 2035 and reduce pollution from medium- and heavy-duty vehicles.
- California Senator Alex Padilla called the Senate GOP's efforts "reckless attempts" and announced holds on four EPA nominations, warning the consequences would be far-reaching.
- The vote could significantly affect U.S. Clean air policies, with Republicans arguing the California rules improperly expand federal authority and could impose a nationwide EV mandate.
