Four Senate Republicans want to strip California's power to set its own emissions rules.
Sens. Husted, Ricketts, Lummis, and Schmitt filed CRA resolutions targeting the EPA waivers that let CARB's Advanced Clean Cars II standards spread beyond state lines.
• The resolutions target the same Biden-era waiver authority Republicans used last year to roll back truck, bus, and passenger vehicle standards, a move California is still fighting in federal court
• A successful repeal would remove one of the biggest drivers behind EV sales mandates in California and the states that follow its lead
• The resolutions still need full Senate passage before reaching President Trump's desk, and dealers should expect another legal fight no matter the outcome
