Stop CARB Act: A Bold Move to Control California’s Emission Rules

California's iron grip on the automotive market could finally be over! The Stop CARB Act, introduced in the U.S. Senate as part of larger legislative efforts to address vehicle regulations, is generating a lot of buzz for its aim to curb the influence of the California Air Resources Board (CARB) on national auto standards.

This bill seeks to limit CARB’s ability to set stringent emission rules that impact not just California but 17 other states in addition to federal policy. As debates over vehicle costs, consumer choice, and environmental regulations heat up, the Stop CARB Act could reshape how cars are built and sold across America.

What Is the Stop CARB Act?
The Stop CARB Act is a proposed piece of legislation focused on restricting the California Air Resources Board’s authority to enforce its own vehicle emission standards, particularly those stricter than federal regulations. While the bill is often discussed in connection with the Transportation Freedom Act (S.711), introduced on February 25, 2025, by Senator Bernie Moreno (R-OH), the Stop CARB Act specifically targets CARB’s waivers under the Clean Air Act. These waivers allow California to set emission rules that other states can adopt, influencing national vehicle standards. The bill aims to eliminate these waivers, preventing California from dictating emission policies beyond its borders and blocking other states from following its lead.
