Latest action on H.J.Res. 88: Became Public Law No: 119-16.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects California officials, other states that use California-style car rules, car makers, and agencies that enforce pollution laws. It could also matter to drivers and dealers in states tied to these rules, because it changes whether this EPA approval stays in place.

Why this matters: This matters because it removes federal backing for a major California clean-car waiver and leaves open what happens next. That could affect state rulemaking, auto industry planning, and future pollution controls. It also matters because Congress used the Congressional Review Act here, even though some outside legal analysts disputed whether this kind of waiver should go through that process. The bill text does not settle those legal fights or describe the long-term outcome.

• Uses the Congressional Review Act, in chapter 8 of title 5 of the U.S. Code, to overturn an agency action.
• Targets one EPA notice with the title "California State Motor Vehicle and Engine Pollution Control Standards; Advanced Clean Cars II; Waiver of Preemption; Notice of Decision."
