This joint resolution revokes a waiver that the Environmental Protection Agency granted to the California Air Resources Board. The waiver had allowed California to establish its own emissions standards for new heavy-duty vehicles and engines manufactured in 2024 and later model years, as well as for off-road diesel engines and off-road diesel-fueled auxiliary power units. By revoking this waiver, the resolution nullifies the EPA's prior decision that permitted California to set these standards under the Clean Air Act.
