California sues Trump EPA over move to subject state vehicle emissions waivers to congressional review

California has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), challenging its decision to submit four vehicle emissions waivers to Congress under the Congressional Review Act. The lawsuit, led by California Attorney General Rob Bonta, argues that the EPA is improperly converting past regulatory decisions into new rules that can be overturned by Congress, thereby undermining California's authority under the Clean Air Act. The case highlights ongoing tensions between California and the Trump administration over environmental regulation, particularly regarding vehicle emissions standards. Last year, similar actions by Trump and Republicans led to the reversal of California's electric vehicle mandates, prompting legal challenges. The outcome of this lawsuit could affect broader regulatory processes and the balance of power between states and federal agencies.
