Senators on Tuesday voted to overturn Biden administration regulations limiting emissions from tire manufacturing, sending the resolution to President Donald Trump’s desk for a signature.
In a 55-45 vote, the Senate passed a resolution that would undo the Environmental Protection Agency’s standards relating to hazardous air pollutants from rubber tire facilities. The bill passed the House in March. It was introduced by Rep. Morgan Griffith (R-VA) and advanced through the Congressional Review Act, which provides an expedited process for Congress to cancel rules, bypassing the filibuster in the Senate.
Last November, the EPA finalized the national standards under the Clean Air Act to protect public health from the hazardous air pollutants that are released from the tire manufacturing process.
