ACTION ALERT: Tell Congress to overturn California’s anti-consumer mandates
Last year, Congress rejected California's ban on new gas-powered cars and trucks — but the state is still attempting to force the electrification of vehicles, ships, ports, lawn mowers and other small engines — just through different regulatory pathways.
California’s overreach is a threat to consumer choice, affordability and energy reliability across America. And the only reason California can do this is because previous EPAs gave unlawful waivers allowing CA to enforce these regulations. Other states have even leaned on these waivers to adopt some of these California rules.
The EPA recently sent six California waivers to Congress for consideration under the Congressional Review Act (CRA). That means your Representatives and Senators have an opportunity to stop these California mandates before they drive up costs for all American consumers and businesses.
Why This Matters
- California is using waivers issued by previous EPAs to impose costly electrification mandates.
- Rules affecting passenger cars and trucks, lawn equipment, ships and ports would restrict consumer choice, increase costs nationally and even undercut U.S. energy security.
How You Can Help
Congress can use CRAs to eliminate all six waivers and stop these unlawful California regulations for good.
Use the form on the right (or below, if you’re on your phone) to contact your members of Congress and urge them to vote YES on all six CRA resolutions.
