Top Legislator Reveals Plan to Overturn California's EV Law

Most of the press missed it, but the new head of the EPA, Lee Zeldin, sent the California Clean Air waiver to Congress late Friday for the House to repeal. SEMA published a press release in support of this move on Friday.

President Trump campaigned on eliminating electric-vehicle mandates and bringing down prices. Republicans in Congress now have an opportunity to do both by overturning California’s powerful EV regime.

Lawmakers have a unique opportunity to make things right with the American people, and use their powers to halt EV mandates.

How? Under the Congressional Review Act (CRA) a simple majority of both chambers can overturn a regulation with a President’s signature. Passing a CRA resolution would be quicker than reversing the rule administratively.

The CRA states that if this is passed, the EPA and federal government cannot re-attempt to approve this rule. The process allows the vote to come to the floor in an expedited fashion, forcing all members to go on the record with their votes. If Congress votes to undo a rule, the agency cannot propose a similar regulation. It would require an act of congress to override the CRA.

Thanks for watching!

What about the kill switches slated to start in 2026? Can you stop that too please?

[SquidwardhatesEVs]

EV Mandate is an absolute joke. Keep up the good work Lauren👍

[FrankGallagherr]

Who else wants to see Newsom and Bass resign immediately, gone for good, recalled, never seen again, investigated, prosecuted and imprisoned

[GarySmythe]

California needs to get rid of CARB (California Air Resource Board).

[Graymnm]

As a Californian I implore you to ensure the CARB is eradicated.

[ClaremontClassicGarage]

Its about time these loons were stopped.

[usamac]

So refreshing to get car news that isn't part of the official left narrative.

[roddycreswell]

Wtf should Cali dictate what the other 49 states do? That’s utterly ridiculous!

[Facewest]

Gas prices are dropping in every state except California.
In California gas prices are above $5.00 a gallon for crappy 87 octane.
The Governor of California is Gavin Nuisance.

[Daniel-vrlv]

The only CARB I want to see is that Holley 750 that sits on top of a Small Block Chevy. Hell Yeah!

[icecold]

As a Californian, thank you, I truly hope it’s repealed.

[swjlm]

🙏 oh please, PLEASE let CARB be dismantled

[bprince]

We need to get rid of our governor here in California. That’s what we need right now.

[LLLMYOB]

CARB is another example of bloated overreach causing burdensome taxes on California

[deanmitchell]

One State can not be allowed to control the other 49.

[gwenna]

It's way beyond time to remove California's strangle hold on the rest of the country and allowing them to dictate what the rest of us can or cannot buy.

[mikecampell]

Screw Calif electric mandates on all things

[ChrisFromFloriduh]

As a car enthusiast, I’m so happy to hear this.

[daleolson]

Go get them carb needs to go yesterday. Also the epa needs to go back 15 years on regulations they are killing the trucking and farmers.

Love you Lauren and everything you do for the automotive industry!
