Senate GOP's Bid to Block Funds for 2027 Vehicle Emission Rules Fails
Senate Republicans tried to pass a bill to stop the government from using money to enforce new pollution-reducing rules on cars and trucks made in 2027 or later, but the bill was defeated.
This is a bill that stops money from being used for specific rules made by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 2024. The rules it targets are about limiting pollution from cars and trucks made in 2027 and the years after. The EPA had planned to use the money for these pollution limits, but this bill says no money should be spent on putting these rules into effect or making sure they are followed.
