What Congress Said
Members who spoke about this bill on the floor, in their own words from the Congressional Record.
This bill would overturn the EPA's waiver granting California the ability to decide for all Californians what cars they drive and what trucks they use to deliver their goods.
The following Senators are necessarily absent: the Senator from Tennessee (Mrs. Blackburn), the Senator from Alabama (Mrs. Britt), the Senator from North Carolina (Mr. Budd), and the Senator from Kansas (Mr. Moran).
I rise in strong opposition to H.J. Res. 89, yet another extremist, and I believe illegal, Congressional Review Act resolution attacking a commonsense regulation to protect Americans' health and the environment.
I will say that California developed this rule, the heavy-duty omnibus rule, to reduce pollution from some of the worst sources of traditional air pollution from the transportation sector.
I rise today to speak in opposition to H.J. Res. 89, which would nullify California's Low NOX rule. My Republican colleagues will talk about the supposed EV mandate and how California is forcing the rest of the country to drive EVs. This is obviously ridiculous. California's regulations are for California.
I rise today in opposition to the Republicans' dangerous attempt to revoke California's ability to protect public health and reduce toxic vehicle emissions.
I missed Roll Call vote nos. 111 and 112 because I attended my daughter's senior awards night ceremony. Had I been present, I would have voted Nay on Roll Call No. 111, H.J. Res. 87, and Nay on Roll Call No. 112, H.J. Res. 89.
