Sacramento, California – Republican-controlled US House voted on Thursday to block California from blocking first-domestic rules to sell new gas-powered cars by 20.
The move came a day after voting in favor of California to stop the nitrogen oxide pollution of smoke-construct from the trucks to cut off the telespipe from medium- and heavy tariff vehicles.
House Republican Bretti Guthry and Virginia Morgan Griffith said in a statement, “A victory for Americans who have passed these resolutions will not be forced to buy expensive EV because of the void order of California.” “If not canceled, the California waiver will increase higher prices for both new and used vehicles, our dependence on China will increase and spread our electronic grid.”
For decades, California has been given the authority to accept the value of vehicles, which are rigorous than the federal government. The Democratic Governor Gavin News announced the ban on sale of all new gas -driven vehicles in the state by 2021 as part of aggressive efforts to reduce emissions from the transport sector in 2021. Plug-in hybrids and used gas cars can still be sold.
State regulators then formally made the rules, some other states announced plans to follow them, and the Biden administration approved the state waiver in December a month before President Donald Trump returned to the post of President Donald Trump.
This week’s home votes were mostly read in the party line, though some Democrats joined the Republicans to move them forward. It will be against the advice of a Senate Member of Parliament, who is not subject to the review system used by the California policy house, for the US General Accountability Office.
Republicans used the Congressional Review Act, this is a law, to improve the Congressional monitoring of the activities by the federal agencies, to try to block the rules. In 2019, the Trump administration has rejected the capacity to implement California’s own emission standards, but biden later restored the state’s authority.
However, California’s criteria cannot be legally blocked using the Congressional Review Act, the US government’s accountability office, a neutral Congressional Watchdog, wrote a letter to the Congress in March.
News said that this attempt was another sign of the Ideal Change of Republicans for decades of decades where former President Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan Landmark signed environmental laws where Trump was pressing on the clear air and climate change to the environmental rollback.
“Clean Air was not used as a political,” Newsm said in a statement. “Our Vehicle Program helps to clean the air for all California and we will continue to protect it.”
A spokesman for the California Air Resources Board, which passes the vehicle emission value, says the company “will continue its goal to protect the public health of California affected by harmful air pollution.”
It is not clear what will happen in the Senate. Sen Sen in California. According to Adam Shif’s office, the Senate MP GAO’s explorations in April have confirmed that California’s Clean Air Law Maukuf is not subject to the Congressional Review Act.
“We will fight this latest attack to protect California’s own residents, and I will request to recognize the serious impacts of my colleagues in the Senate’s rights violation of the state, as well as the dangerous look that the confident arbitrator of the Congress will be determined,” Democrat said. “Democrat said.
Dan Baker, the director of the secure climate transportation center for biological diversity, has called the Congressional Review Act a “backdoor move” which “shows how reckless the Republicans behave.”
Baker said in a statement, “Republicans may regret opening this Pandora box, inviting other non-laws when they are no longer in charge.”
However, the American Petroleum Institute and the American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers praised Thursday’s vote and called it “a huge victory for US customers.”
“California’s illegal sanctions should never have been approved, and Governor News should not be allowed to occupy so much control over the American vehicle market,” the president and CEO of the institute, Mike Somars and CEO Chet Thompson, said in a joint statement.
