House Republicans, with some Democratic support, voted to prevent California from enforcing its zero-emission vehicle sales mandates and to hinder efforts to reduce smog. These votes signify a broader Republican strategy to challenge California's ability to implement stricter pollution standards than federal laws allow. Key among the policies under threat is California's plan to ban gasoline-powered vehicle sales by 2035, which has been adopted by eleven other states and could significantly impact the U.S. auto industry and climate initiatives. The next steps involve potential Senate votes addressing these measures.
