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 target EPA waivers they argue allow California to exercise outsized influence over emissions standards beyond its borders. The legislation aims to nullify earlier EPA decisions that gave California regulatory control over equipment and vehicles, such as gas-powered lawn equipment, cars, and buses. Republicans contend that these waivers function as de facto climate regulation for the entire nation.
