Stop CARB Act of 2025

# Stop CARB Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** The Stop CARB Act of 2025 (S 1072) is legislation introduced in the U.S. Senate that aims to address California's vehicle emissions standards. Specifically, the bill would restrict or prevent California from setting its own vehicle emissions rules that differ from federal standards set by the EPA. Currently, California has a special waiver under the Clean Air Act that allows it to adopt stricter emissions standards than the federal government requires, and other states can choose to follow either California's or federal standards. **Who It Affects:** This bill would impact automakers, California residents, consumers in states that follow California's emissions standards, and environmental advocates.

Automakers would be affected because they currently must decide whether to produce vehicles meeting federal standards or California's stricter standards. Consumers in California and other states following its standards might see different vehicle options and prices. **Current Status:** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been voted on by the full Senate. At this stage, it remains under review and has not advanced to a floor vote.
