119th Congress (1st) Vote 279 is a Senate Vote on Bill HJRES 87, Providing congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "California State Motor Vehicle and Engine Pollution Control Standards; Heavy-Duty Vehicle and Engine Emission Warranty and Maintenance Provisions; Advanced Clean Trucks; Zero Emission Airport Shuttle; Zero-Emission Power Train Certification; Waiver of Preemption; Notice of Decision".. HJRES 87 was introduced on April 2, 2025 by 29 Sponsors and 91 Cosponsors.

Bill 119 hjres 87 is a piece of legislation that aims to provide 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 covers a variety of topics, including Heavy-Duty Vehicle and Engine Emission Warranty and Maintenance Provisions, Advanced Clean Trucks, Zero Emission Airport Shuttle, Zero-Emission Power Train Certification, Waiver of Preemption, and Notice of Decision.

The bill seeks to challenge the EPA's authority to regulate these specific areas of environmental policy, particularly in relation to California's unique state standards for vehicle emissions. By disapproving of the EPA's rule, Congress is asserting its oversight role in environmental regulations and potentially opening the door for further debate and potential changes to these standards.

Overall, Bill 119 hjres 87 represents a significant moment in the ongoing discussion around environmental policy and the balance of power between federal and state governments in regulating emissions from vehicles and engines. It will be important to monitor the progress of this bill and any potential impacts it may have on environmental protections moving forward.
