What it does
The Protect America from CARB Act of 2026 would amend the Clean Air Act to require federal concurrence before states can adopt or enforce certain emissions standards, specifically by mandating approval from the Secretaries of Agriculture, Energy, Interior, and Transportation after notice and public hearing. This requirement applies to waiver or authorization requests submitted on or after the bill’s enactment. The bill primarily affects states seeking to implement emissions standards under the Clean Air Act, adding a layer of federal review involving multiple cabinet departments.
