The Congressional Review Act resolution, H.J. Res. 136, from Michigan Republican Rep. John James, would roll back EPA’s rule for cars and small trucks that Republicans have labeled a “de-facto electric vehicle mandate.” The resolution passed 215-191.

The Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives voted to repeal the Biden administration's tailpipe emissions rule on Friday. In March, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a rule on the sale of electronic vehicles, or EVs, that officials called the most ambitious plan ever to cut global-warming emissions from cars.

The measure was led by Republican Rep. John James of Shelby Township, who criticized a "government takeover of our American automotive industry."
