Republicans plan to use the Congressional Review Act to overturn the ban by California to end the sale of new gasoline-powered cars in the state by 2035. The ban was made possible by a waiver granted under the Clean Air Act during the Biden administration.
Bracewell’s Scott Segal told The New York Times that it is “entirely appropriate” for Congress to weigh in, given that so many other states adopt California’s standards.
“It’s California’s request that it be allowed to regulate, and regulate in a way that drags a bunch of other states with it. It’s a market-setting, insidious regulation.”
