A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Federal Highway Administration relating to "Waiver of Buy America Requirements for Electric Vehicle Chargers".

S.J.Res. 38 was a joint resolution that sought to overturn a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) rule regarding "Buy America" requirements for electric vehicle (EV) chargers. The existing FHWA rule provides a temporary waiver that allows federally funded EV charging stations to use certain foreign-made components, provided the final assembly occurs in the United States, with a plan to phase in stricter domestic content requirements over time.

If this resolution had become law, it would have immediately reinstated strict "Buy America" mandates for all steel, iron, and manufactured components used in EV chargers funded by the federal government. For citizens, this would have likely slowed the nationwide rollout of EV charging infrastructure by limiting the available supply of compliant chargers, though it aimed to prioritize the use of 100% American-made materials in federal projects. The resolution ultimately failed to pass in the Senate over a presidential veto in February 2024, meaning the temporary waiver remains in effect.
