Senate moves to unshackle America's drivers from California's 'climate zealots'

Senate Republicans are launching an effort using the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to limit California's authority over vehicle and equipment emissions standards beyond its borders. The package targets earlier EPA waivers granted under the Clean Air Act that critics argue give the state outsized regulatory control. These measures aim to nullify various federal exemptions, such as those affecting passenger vehicles and gas-powered lawn equipment.
