Rep. Kiley’s Legislation to Reverse Newsom’s Gas Car Ban Passes Senate

<p><strong>WASHINGTON&nbsp;</strong>–&nbsp;Rep. Kevin Kiley’s (R-CA) Congressional Review Act Resolution reversing California&#8217;s upcoming ban on gas-powered vehicles, which he introduced in the House last month, has passed the U.S. Senate.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The CRA passed the House with bipartisan support in early May. Once President Trump signs the legislation, the reversal will be official.</p>

<p>“Californians can be grateful that we have checks and balances,&#8221;&nbsp;Rep. Kiley said.&nbsp;&#8220;Gov. Newsom&#8217;s attempt to unilaterally ban most of the cars in our state could not survive a democratic vote by representatives of the people. I&#8217;m grateful that my legislation has passed the House and Senate, and I look forward to seeing it signed into law by the President. Californians should be able to drive the car of their choice, not one chosen for them by the government.”</p>

<p>The CRA repeals California’s Advanced Clean Cars II waiver. That federal waiver was what allowed the State to ban the sale of gas-powered vehicles by 2035. &nbsp;</p>
