HJRES 87 Became Law Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Providing congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "California State Motor Vehicle and Engine Pollution Control Standards; Heavy-Duty Vehicle and Engine Emission Warranty and Maintenance Provisions; Advanced Clean Trucks; Zero Emission Airport Shuttle; Zero-Emission Power Train Certification; Waiver of Preemption; Notice of Decision".
Summary
This joint resolution disapproves an Environmental Protection Agency rule related to California vehicle emission standards, including requirements for heavy-duty vehicle emissions, warranty provisions, and zero-emission vehicle standards. If passed, the resolution would eliminate the rule's legal effect, preventing the EPA's vehicle emissions and pollution control requirements from taking effect. The resolution was passed by the House of Representatives in April 2025 and allows Congress to reject a federal agency regulation under procedures established in the Congressional Review Act.
