Oppose Roll Backs Of EPA’s Clean Vehicle Standards

The Environmental Protection Agency recently finalized clean truck and car standards. These clean car and truck standards tackle the climate crisis, clean up our air, and protect public health.  However, some members of Congress are attempting or planning to introduce legislation that could back these health-protective standards. The Congressional Review Act (CRA) is a tool Congress can use to roll back federal regulations with just a simple majority in the House and Senate. Once a rule is repealed using the CRA, the rule is void and the agency cannot issue a “substantially similar” rule again without Congressional approval. 

The clean car standards have massive benefits in addressing climate change and improving public health. They must remain intact as we move towards a zero-emission future. Send a message to your representative asking them to vote against any Congressional Review Act Resolution or any other legislative mechanism that aims to roll back EPA’s car and truck standards.
