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

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects California and states that use California-style vehicle pollution rules. It also affects car makers that plan around those rules. Drivers may see effects later if vehicle choices, prices, or clean-car rules change. The bill does not say exactly what those later effects will be.

Why this matters: This matters because it changes the federal backing for a major state clean-car program. California has long had special authority to seek permission for stricter vehicle pollution rules. Other states may choose to follow California's rules. Canceling this EPA approval could change clean-car plans beyond California, but the exact results depend on later agency action, state choices, and court decisions.

Key provisions in H.J.Res. 88

• Uses the Congressional Review Act, a law that lets Congress review and reject some agency rules.
• Targets one EPA rule about California's vehicle and engine pollution standards, called Advanced Clean Cars II, and EPA's waiver decision for it.
• Identifies the exact EPA notice as 90 Federal Register 642, published January 6, 2025.
• Says the rejected EPA rule has no legal force or effect. That is the legal wording Congress uses to cancel it.
• Does not create new emissions rules or programs. It only cancels the named EPA decision.
