What are the immediate consequences of the Senate's repeal of EPA waivers for California's clean vehicle program?

The U.S. Senate voted to repeal the EPA waivers for California's clean car and truck programs, despite legal challenges and warnings from the Senate Parliamentarian and the Government Accountability Office. This action, using the Congressional Review Act, could set a precedent for Congress to overturn any administrative decision, jeopardizing various regulatory processes. The repeal directly impacts California's ability to enforce stricter emission standards, worsening air quality and potentially harming public health.
