WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Senate on Thursday voted to bar California's landmark plan to end the sale of gasoline-only vehicles by 2035 that has been adopted by 11 other states representing a third of the U.S. auto market. The vote sends to President Donald Trump the measure to repeal a waiver granted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under former President Joe Biden in December, allowing California to mandate at least 80% electric vehicles by 2035. The vote is a win for General Motors, Toyota and other automakers that heavily lobbied against the rules and a blow to California and environmental groups that say the requires are essential to ensuring cleaner vehicles.

The U.S. Senate voted 50-46 to block a California law that would have required large companies to disclose their greenhouse gas emissions, marking a significant victory for business groups and a setback for environmental advocates. The law, set to take effect in January 2026, aimed to increase transparency about corporate contributions to climate change. The resolution to nullify the law was led by Republican Senator Dan Sullivan, who argued that it would impose burdensome regulations on businesses. Despite opposition from Democrats and environmental groups, the measure passed with the support of all Republican senators and two Democrats, Joe Manchin and Angus King. This decision reflects ongoing tensions between state and federal authority over environmental regulations.
