The U.S. House of Representatives on Friday voted narrowly to repeal clean vehicle rules adopted in March to cut fleetwide tailpipe emissions by 50% over 2026 levels by 2032. House Republicans said the Environmental Protection Agency's final regulation would effectively push gas-powered vehicles out of the U.

SD's Dusty Johnson was among the yes votes as the U.S. House voted to roll back an EPA rule strengthening standards for air pollution from car and truck tailpipes.

The U.S. House of Representatives has voted in favor of H.J. Res 136 to repeal a rule from the Environmental Protection Agency to set vehicle emission caps. Critics argue that the EPA’s “Multi-Pollutant Emissions Standards for Model Years 2027 and Later Light-Duty and Medium-Duty Vehicles” sets emission standards so low it forces automakers to increase production of electric vehicles to comply with the new rules.
