President Trump has officially signed my Congressional Review Act Legislation to stop California’s radical gas car mandate from becoming national policy. This is a major win for drivers across the country, whether you live in California or not. California's mandate would have forced automakers to make 100% of new car sales electric by 2035, starting next year with 35%. Failure for each manufacturer to meet the electric car quota would have meant fines of up to $25,000 per vehicle sold. That means less inventory to choose from, higher prices, and more burdens for families who rely on their vehicles. Plus, electric cars don’t exactly work well in freezing cold, Public Safety Power Shutoffs, or when hauling any distance. Our law makes it clear: one state doesn’t get to dictate what the rest of the country can drive, and California is stripped of its authority to make similar rules. From electric truck and bus mandates to personal vehicles – all of them have been repealed by these Acts of Congress. I was happy to help lead this effort in the House and to stand alongside President Trump at the White House as he signed it into law. Americans deserve the freedom to choose the car that fits their life, not to be forced into expensive electric vehicles by a government mandate.
