The Supreme Court says it will wade into a case over whether California can set its own vehicle emissions standards.

The case involves a section of the Clean Air Act that preempts states from setting their own emissions standards for new vehicles.

California was the only state that regulated vehicle emissions before 1966 , and therefore is eligible for a waiver.
