Forum on "Emerging Applications of the Congressional Review Act"

"California's Fight for Cleaner Cars: The Battle Over Congressional Review Act. California's ambitious plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles is facing a major hurdle as the state seeks to rescind a waiver granted to it by the federal government to set its own vehicle standards. The waiver, which has been in place since 1970, allows California to set stricter emissions standards for vehicles sold in the state. However, the Biden administration has been considering revoking the waiver, citing concerns over the potential impact on the national auto market. Now, California lawmakers are exploring the use of the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to override the waiver's revocation and preserve the state's authority to set its own emissions standards. But what are the legal implications of using the CRA, and can California succeed in its bid to protect its climate policies?"
