This joint resolution would use the Congressional Review Act to cancel a 2013 Environmental Protection Agency decision. That decision granted California a waiver from federal Clean Air Act preemption for its Advanced Clean Car Program. It also confirmed that California's Zero Emission Vehicle amendments for 2017 and earlier model years fell within the scope of a prior waiver. Under the resolution, the EPA decision would have no force or effect.
