TYSONS, Va. (May 22, 2025)—American Truck Dealers (ATD) President Jacqueline Gelb released the following statement after the Senate voted 51-45 to revoke California’s ban on new diesel trucks and 49-46 to revoke its expensive heavy-duty Omnibus Low Nox regulations.

“The importance of these critical votes cannot be overstated. California’s onerous regulations have upended the trucking industry in CARB states through rationing of diesel trucks and forcing adoption of zero-emission technologies that don’t meet the performance and durability requirements for the industry,” Gelb said. “The industry has made great strides toward cleaner emissions, and without these mandates, it will continue to develop new technologies that reduce emissions and support the movement of our nation’s freight.”

America’s truck dealers thank Sens. Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) and Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) for their leadership and efforts to pass this pro-small business, pro-consumer legislation.

The two joint resolutions, H.J.Res. 87 and H.J.Res. 89, will go to President Donald Trump next, who is expected to sign them.
