Industry Updates

The change is a result of corporate lobbying that claimed the initial standards were expensive and burdensome.

The U.S. Supreme Court has established rules of the road to determine when lawsuits challenging actions by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) related to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions should be heard by regional appeals courts or an appeals court in Washington that often hears regulatory cases.

In a federal lawsuit filed June 12, 2025, California and ten other states are challenging the legality of three Congressional resolutions signed by President Trump that disapprove key EPA waivers. The waivers allow California to implement its Advanced Clean Cars II, Advanced Clean Trucks, and Omnibus Low NOx regulations.
