House Votes to Repeal Biden-Era Truck Emission Waivers Granted to California

The waivers set an ‘impossible transition timeline’ for trucks and other vehicles while restricting customer choice, a lawmaker said.

The House of Representatives passed two resolutions on April 30 repealing waivers issued by the Biden administration to California that allowed the state to impose zero-emission mandates and stringent emission regulations.

The proposals will now move on to the Senate, where they need to get approved before President Donald Trump can consider signing them.
