  The state quickly announced it was challenging the move in court, with California's attorney general holding a news conference to discuss the lawsuit before Trump's signing ceremony ended at the White House.

On April 20, 2022, former President Donald Trump signed a Congressional resolution that nullified California's authority to set its own vehicle emissions standards, which were stricter than federal guidelines. This move was part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to roll back environmental regulations. The resolution, passed by Congress, invoked the Congressional Review Act to overturn a waiver granted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that allowed California to implement its own emissions standards. Critics argued that this action would hinder efforts to combat climate change and reduce air pollution, while supporters believed it would streamline national auto industry regulations. The signing ceremony was broadcast live, highlighting the political and environmental significance of the decision.
