The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee on Wednesday released its title of the reconciliation bill that would rescind funding for over two dozen programs established by the 2022 reconciliation law and repeal stricter tailpipe emissions standards. The proposal mirrors rescissions and policies laid out in the House reconciliation bill in pulling back on clean energy initiatives in the name of Republicans’ “energy independence” goals.

WASHINGTON - The Government Accountability Office said Thursday that the Transportation Department's pause on funding for a Biden administration electric-vehicle charging program is illegal under the 1974 law restricting a president's ability to block or "impound" money appropriated by Congress. The determination is the GAO's first slap on the Trump administration's wrist for its impoundment of congressionally approved funds.

WASHINGTON - The Senate on Thursday passed a joint resolution that would bar California from enforcing vehicle emissions standards that effectively phase out the sale of new gasoline-powered vehicles by 2035. In a 51-44 vote, the Senate passed a joint resolution that would nullify the waiver issued by the EPA during the final weeks of the Biden administration. Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., joined all Republicans in backing the joint resolution under the Congressional Review Act.
