Washington – On May 23, 2023, the House of Representatives passed S.J. Res. 11, a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution to disapprove the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) onerous emissions rule on heavy-duty trucks. Representative Mike Collins (R-Ga.), who built and ran a family-owned trucking company for more than 30 years, voted in favor of the resolution and issued this statement after passage:
“Once again, Washington bureaucrats who haven’t spent a single day in the cab of a truck are hammering the industry with standards far beyond what current technology can handle. Emissions from heavy-duty trucks have already been reduced substantially in recent decades, but as usual, the EPA’s allegiance is to the climate lobby, not to working Americans who will endure higher prices for everything that moves over the road. This rule is unnecessary, burdensome, and exactly the wrong policy that we’ve come to expect from Biden’s EPA.”
