Lawmakers Pass Resolution to Repeal EPA Light- and Medium-Duty Vehicle Emissions Standards Rule
Repeals the EPA light- and medium-duty vehicle emissions standards rule, an NFIB Key Vote for the 118th Congress
In a vote of 215-191, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.J. Res. 136, disapproving the EPA’s light- and medium-duty vehicle emissions standards rule. NFIB previously supported legislation to prevent the EPA from enacting a de facto electric vehicle (EV) mandate.
“In attempting to strong-arm vehicle manufacturers into utilizing newer technology to lower emissions, the EPA is effectively forcing an industry shift that will limit consumer choice and make vehicles more expensive and less reliable for small businesses nationwide,” said Adam Temple, NFIB Senior Vice President of Advocacy. “NFIB is pleased lawmakers in the House recognized these concerns and passed H.J. Res. 136.”
