Doug LaMalfa reported that today, the House passed three Congressional Review Act resolutions with broad bipartisan support, effectively halting Gavin Newsom and California’s stringent vehicle emissions mandates. This vote is a significant victory for drivers, businesses, and consumers nationwide. The extreme emissions mandates proposed by California would have driven up the costs of cars and trucks, making them less accessible not only in California but across the country.
Consumers could have faced substantial price increases for non-electric vehicles, with availability of certain models already limited in California. By passing these resolutions, the House has reinforced the idea that one state’s extreme agenda should not dictate the choices available to Americans. Individuals deserve the freedom to select the vehicles that best meet their needs, rather than being compelled to purchase expensive electric vehicles that may not suit them. The House’s decision reflects a commitment to commonsense policies aimed at protecting hardworking families from escalating costs.
