Ending California's Special Authority Over Vehicle Emission Standards.

This bill aims to eliminate California's unique power to set stricter vehicle and engine emission standards than the federal government. If passed, all states would be required to adhere only to federal emission rules, potentially affecting vehicle specifications, costs, and local air quality in states that currently follow stricter regulations. This means unifying vehicle regulations nationwide.
Key points
Eliminates California's right to establish its own, stricter emission standards for new vehicles and engines.
Other states lose the authorization to adopt California's emission standards instead of the federal ones.
All existing special permissions (waivers) granted to California become void, leading to unified national emission regulations.
