WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the United States Senate passed Representative John James’ (MI-10) Congressional Review Act (CRA) to overturn the Biden Administration’s approval of California’s Advanced Clean Trucks rule. This CRA passed the House of Representatives in April 2025 and will now move to President Trump’s desk. 

James’ legislation would cancel an overreaching and impractical rule that would mandate truck makers to only sell zero-emission trucks which would increase vehicle prices for consumers, increase costs and manufacturing complexities for automakers, and convolute the regulatory environment. If left unchecked, California’s Advanced Clean Trucks rule could replicate to other states, forcing costly transitions to electric trucks, inflating goods prices, and disproportionately burdening working families and truckers nationwide.

James issued the following statement following the passage of the CRA in the Senate:

“I’ve always said, Michigan is not afraid of the future, but we demand to be a part of it. This is not the United States of California; California has no right to dictate what Michigan or the rest of the country does. The passage of this bill through the Senate moves us closer towards giving Michigan a seat at the table, marking a historic win for American automakers, autoworkers, small businesses, truckers, and consumers alike. Republicans are working hard to implement President Trump’s America First agenda, and the first step is repealing the rules and waivers that fueled Bideninflation. I look forward to President Trump signing this critical legislation into law.”
