President Trump has vowed to end the Biden administration’s electric vehicle (EV) mandate, which is driven by regulatory actions including California’s Advanced Clean Cars II (ACC II) regulation.
The ACC II regulation, which was granted a waiver from Clean Air Act preemption during Biden’s lame duck period, is crucial, as it allows California to enforce stricter rules that influence other states. This creates a de facto EV mandate, with federal agencies relying on California’s program to justify their own regulations.
Congress has the power to approve or disapprove agency actions once submitted for review.
The California waiver, which includes a ban on internal combustion engine vehicles, was a clear overreach by the Biden administration. The law is clear – Congress gets to decide whether to validate or overturn the rule.
The CRA offers Congress the opportunity to reassert control over regulatory policy and prevent this overreach from disrupting the market.
