Recently, a US federal judge ruled that the US Environmental Protection Agency must reverse its decision to reclassify the two Clean Air Act exemptions granted to California as “rules” rather than “orders.” At the time the ruling was introduced, the National Assembly was pressing ahead with voting to try to use the National Assembly Review Act to overturn these immunities. The House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on two August resolutions aimed at lifting these exemptions this Tuesday and Thursday, respectively. The judge's order required the EPA to “rescind or correct” its move to reclassify these orders as rules and to correct them “in all public statements,” while prohibiting the agency from making these reclassifications effective.
