WASHINGTON D.C. – U.S. Senator Deb Fischer introduced a resolution of disapproval under the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to repeal California’s Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) regulation which imposes emissions requirements for heavy-duty trucks and heavy-duty diesel engines.
The ACT requires manufacturers of trucks, from class 2b to class 8, to meet zero-emission regulations by 2025. Under the regulation, manufacturers would have to sell an increasingly larger percentage of zero-emission vehicles between 2024 to 2035. Additionally, the ACT requires fleet owners with more than 50 vehicles to submit a one-time report on their existing operations.
Fischer’s CRA would nullify California’s ACT rule.
