California Sues Trump EPA Over Crackdown on Vehicle Emissions Waivers for Review
California is suing the Trump EPA over its decision to require congressional approval for California's vehicle emissions waiver. The move could set up a legal battle over the state's ability to enforce its own environmental regulations.
California has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration over its decision to require congressional review of the state's vehicle emissions waivers, which are currently exempt from federal oversight under a 2007 law. The move could significantly impact California's ability to enforce stricter emissions standards on vehicles. The Environmental Protection Agency announced the change last month, citing concerns about Congress's authority to regulate under existing law. The lawsuit is likely to highlight the ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and California over environmental policy.
