Congress would reject an Environmental Protection Agency decision that allowed California to set its own stricter greenhouse gas emission standards for cars instead of following federal standards. This would prevent California from enforcing pollution rules that are tougher than what the federal government requires for new vehicles. The measure affects automakers and California residents by determining whether the state can independently regulate vehicle emissions.
