The House of Representatives has approved a joint resolution that would do away with the Environmental Protection Agency’s tailpipe emissions standards, which Republicans have criticized as amounting to an electric vehicle mandate.

The three Congressional Review Act resolutions, which would eliminate Biden administration rules and prevent similar rulemakings in the future, specifically targeted EPA’s power plant, particulate matter and heavy-duty vehicle tailpipe rules.

The GOP-controlled House approved a resolution Friday that would overturn a new Biden administration rule on automobile emissions.

WASHINGTON D.C. (WSAU) – The U.S. House of Representatives has voted in favor of ending a recent environmental protection agency emissions rule that would mandate that over half of U.S. vehicle sales be electric by 2032.

SD's Dusty Johnson was among the yes votes as the U.S. House voted to roll back an EPA rule strengthening standards for air pollution from car and truck tailpipes.

The U.S. House of Representatives has voted in favor of H.J. Res 136 to repeal a rule from the Environmental Protection Agency to set vehicle emission caps. Critics argue that the EPA’s “Multi-Pollutant Emissions Standards for Model Years 2027 and Later Light-Duty and Medium-Duty Vehicles” sets emission standards so low it forces automakers to increase production of electric vehicles to comply with the new rules.
