Rep. Mann Reverses Biden Green New Deal Policies

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Yesterday, U.S. Representative Tracey Mann (KS-01) voted to overturn five Biden-era regulations, including two California rules that ban the manufacturing of gas-emitting vehicles and implement an electric vehicle mandate. The U.S. House of Representatives also reversed a waiver for California that would create unnecessary barriers for operating heavy-duty trucks. Rep. Mann celebrated the passage of the Congressional Review Acts, saying:

“America needs an all-of-the-above energy strategy, not a one-size-fits-California mandate,” said Rep. Mann. “President Biden implemented eleventh-hour, Green New Deal rules that would devastate rural communities and drive up costs for American families. Kansas families, manufacturers, and energy producers need more freedom and fewer regulations. I was proud to support House Republicans’ CRAs that roll back these burdensome regulations and ensure far-left state governments don’t dictate energy policies for places like the Big First and the entire country.”

• H.J.Res.60 reverses a rule from the National Park Service that imposes new restrictions on motor vehicle use within the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.
• H.J. Res.78 reverses a rule from the Fish and Wildlife Service designating the San Francisco Bay-Delta Distinct Population Segment of the Longfin Smelt as an endangered species.
• H.J.Res.87 reverses a rule from the EPA granting California waivers mandating truck makers sell zero-emission trucks.
• H.J.Res.88 reverses a rule from the EPA granting California a waiver to ban the sale of gas-powered vehicles by 2035.
• H.J.Res.89 reverses a rule from the EPA granting California a waiver to implement nitrogen oxide engine emission standards, which create unworkable standards for heavy-duty on-road engines.
