Obernolte and Pfluger Challenge California Emissions Waivers with Congressional Resolutions

Obernolte and Pfluger Challenge California Emissions Waivers with Congressional Resolutions

U.S. Representatives Jay Obernolte and August Pfluger have introduced resolutions under the Congressional Review Act to overturn Environmental Protection Agency waivers that allow California to enforce emissions standards stricter than federal regulations. These waivers, according to the lawmakers, increase costs and limit consumer choice by imposing mandates on small businesses and consumers. Obernolte's resolution targets the California Air Resources Board's Small Off-Road Engine amendments, while Pfluger's resolution addresses vehicle emissions standards. The resolutions aim to prevent California's standards from becoming de facto national policies, arguing that they harm economic interests and consumer freedom.

Senators Reintroduce Ban Asbestos Now Act to Strengthen Public Health Protections

Senators Reintroduce Ban Asbestos Now Act to Strengthen Public Health Protections

Senators Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and John Curtis (R-UT) have reintroduced the Alan Reinstein Ban Asbestos Now Act, aiming to institute a federal ban on the commercial and industrial use of asbestos in the United States. This bipartisan effort seeks to amend the 1976 Toxic Substances Control Act to prohibit the manufacture, processing, use, and distribution of all six recognized asbestos fibers. The act is named after Alan Reinstein, a former president of the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization, who died of mesothelioma, a cancer caused by asbestos exposure. The bill's reintroduction marks the fifth attempt to pass such legislation, with previous efforts failing to advance through Congress. If successful, the act would require industrial sites to transition away from asbestos use, providing stronger protections for American families and workers against this known carcinogen.

Representative Kevin Mullin Introduces Bill to Enhance Autonomous Vehicle Safety Standards

Representative Kevin Mullin Introduces Bill to Enhance Autonomous Vehicle Safety Standards

Representative Kevin Mullin has introduced the AV Emergency Response Coordination Act, a federal bill aimed at establishing minimum safety standards for autonomous vehicles (AVs) in emergency situations. The bill mandates that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) set these standards to ensure AVs do not interfere with emergency services such as police, firefighters, and paramedics. The legislation requires AV companies to publish standardized emergency response protocols, establish a 24/7 hotline for public officials, and allow officials to issue 'geofence notices' to prevent AVs from entering areas during active emergencies. Mullin announced the bill at a press conference in San Francisco, highlighting incidents where AVs have obstructed emergency services in various cities.

Senators Warner and Kaine Introduce Bill to Restore Military Funding Diverted by Trump

Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine, along with Democratic leader Dick Durbin and 29 other Democratic colleagues, have introduced the Military Priorities Restoration Act of 2020. This legislation aims to reverse and restore $3.8 million in military funding that the Trump Administration redirected from Pentagon priorities to construct part of President Trump's border wall. The bill also seeks to limit the Department of Defense's transfer authority to prevent future diversions of defense funds for the border wall. The recent reallocation affected National Guard members and various congressionally funded programs. This marks the third instance in less than a year where the administration has unilaterally redirected funds to the border wall, bypassing Congress.
