网曝吃瓜

WASHINGTON, D.C. (May 27, 2025)聽鈥� The聽网曝吃瓜 (网曝吃瓜),聽the nation鈥檚 leading small business advocacy organization, applauds the passage of H.J. Res. 88. 网曝吃瓜聽sent a letter聽to the U.S. Senate in support of the resolution, which if enacted will rescind the federal waiver granted to California to implement more stringent vehicle emissions standards and require that 100% of new passenger vehicle sales be zero-emissions by 2035. A vote in favor of H.J. Res. 88 was considered an 网曝吃瓜 Key Vote in the 119th Congress.

鈥淐alifornia鈥檚 waiver authority under the Clean Air Act enables the state to impose de facto electric vehicle (EV) mandates that extend beyond its borders, impacting millions of small businesses across the country. Over a dozen states have adopted California鈥檚 standards, effectively allowing a single state鈥檚 policymakers to dictate vehicle regulations nationwide,鈥� said聽Adam Temple, 网曝吃瓜 Senior Vice President for Advocacy. 鈥淭his is an overreach that imposes costly and unrealistic mandates on small business owners, most of whom do not have the financial means to comply with these regulations.

鈥淎ccording to a recent member ballot, 90% of 网曝吃瓜 members believe that Congress should lift regulatory burdens to reduce transportation costs of goods for small businesses. Additionally, 96% of 网曝吃瓜 members believe the federal government should not ban or restrict the purchase of consumer products like gas-powered vehicles. These results reflect a simple truth: small business owners need reliable and affordable transportation choices.鈥�
