Trump EPA moves to block California from green inspections of out-of-state trucks

The EPA said on Monday that it is proposing to disapprove California’s Heavy-Duty (HD) Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) Requirements, also known as the Clean Truck Check, which requires periodic vehicle emission testing and monitoring to identify trucks in need of emissions-related repairs.
