Senate votes to revoke tougher EPA emissions regulation for trucks that Republicans decry as too burdensome. President Biden has threatened to veto it.
The vote was 50-49, with Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia the only Democrat to vote with Republicans. Republicans utilized the Congressional Review Act, which allows them to bypass Democrats who control the chamber and force a floor vote to revoke the rule at a majority threshold, not the 60 votes often needed to pass legislation.
The final rule, which was adopted by the Environmental Protection Agency in December, sets “new emission standards that are significantly more stringent and that cover a wider range of heavy-duty engine operating conditions compared to today’s standards,” according to the EPA, which said the change is needed because emissions from those trucks are “important contributors to concentrations of ozone and particulate matter and their resulting threat to public health.
