This bill uses the Congressional Review Act to cancel the EPA's "Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards for Heavy-Duty Vehicles—Phase 3" rule, issued in April 2024. If enacted, the rule would be treated as if it never took effect, and the EPA would be blocked from issuing a similar rule without new congressional authorization.
Truck and bus manufacturers, trucking companies, and fleet operators would no longer face the new emissions requirements. The environment and public health could also be affected, since the rule aimed to cut pollution linked to climate change.
Blocking the rule would remove the stricter emissions requirements manufacturers would have had to meet for certain future model years, affecting pollution levels, air quality, and manufacturer flexibility depending on viewpoint.
