Maryland House Republicans have applauded the United States Congress in their passage of House Joint Resolutions 87 and 88 that will withdraw the California waivers to the Clean Air Act, ending the coming ban on the sale of gas-powered vehicles in California and other states, including Maryland. Governor Wes Moore adopted California’s Clean Cars-Clean Trucks rules in 2023 that stated by 2035, all new passenger cars, trucks, and SUVs sold in Maryland must be zero-emission. In April, Governor Moore issued an order delaying Maryland’s enforcement of these standards for two years.
