Summary of Bill HJRES 88

Bill 119 hjres 88 is a piece of legislation that seeks to express congressional disapproval of a rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding California State Motor Vehicle and Engine Pollution Control Standards. The rule in question pertains to "Advanced Clean Cars II," which includes provisions for a waiver of preemption and a notice of decision.

The EPA's rule aims to allow California to set its own emissions standards for motor vehicles, which are more stringent than the federal standards set by the Clean Air Act. This waiver of preemption would give California the authority to enforce its own regulations, rather than being subject to federal regulations.

The bill, if passed, would effectively nullify the EPA's rule and prevent California from implementing its own emissions standards. Supporters of the bill argue that having separate state and federal regulations creates confusion for automakers and consumers, and that a uniform national standard is necessary for the automotive industry. Opponents of the bill, on the other hand, believe that California should have the right to set its own emissions standards in order to combat air pollution and address climate change. They argue that states should have the flexibility to implement stricter regulations if they believe it is necessary for the health and well-being of their residents. Overall, Bill 119 hjres 88 is a contentious piece of legislation that highlights the ongoing debate between states' rights and federal regulations when it comes to environmental policy.

I just don't get why they're trying to mess with this rule. Seems like it's important for keeping our air clean and our cars running smoothly. I hope they rethink this decision. #confused #cleanair #protecttheenvironment

I can't believe this bill is happening, it's so sad. I don't really understand what it's all about, but it seems like it's going to make things worse for the environment. I'm just a young person from IL, trying to do my part to help the planet, and this bill is really discouraging. I wish there was more we could do to stop it.
