US House votes to bar California 2035 electric vehicle plan
- The US House of Representatives voted in April 2025 to revoke California's authority to require zero-emission passenger vehicle sales by 2035.
- This vote responds to the EPA's December 2024 waiver approving California's plan, though disputes exist over Congress's legal power to revoke such waivers.
- The resolution also targets EPA waivers for nitrogen oxide regulations and zero-emission mandates on medium and heavy-duty vehicles, posing a challenge to long-standing state pollution control authority.
- "This vote is an unprecedented and reckless attack on states' legal authority," said Kathy Harris, director at the Natural Resources Defense Council, as many states are unprepared for these rules.
- If the Senate passes the measure, it could halt one of the nation's toughest climate targets, affecting California and at least 11 other states that follow its standards.
