A bipartisan group of lawmakers blocked the Biden administration's attempt to set new emissions standards on electric vehicles on Friday. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had announced a final rule in March under the Clean Air Act to require up to two-thirds of new cars sold to be electric vehicles by 2032.
The new standards would impact various vehicle manufacturers and converters, as outlined in the EPA's final rule. The House passed a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution introduced by Rep. John James, R-Mich., to prevent the regulation from taking effect. The resolution received bipartisan support, with eight Democrats voting in favor.
