What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Stop CARB Act of 2025," seeks to amend the Clean Air Act. It aims to eliminate a specific waiver currently found in the Act. The bill also removes the authorization for States to use new motor vehicle emission and engine standards that are identical to those adopted in California. Additionally, it prohibits States or political subdivisions from enforcing standards related to emissions from nonroad engines or vehicles, such as construction or farm equipment and locomotives. Finally, the Act would render any existing or pending waivers for these standards without force or effect.
