A federal judge in Kentucky blocked Biden's emissions rule for highways, saying it exceeds the Federal Highway Administration’s authority.

21 Republican-led states, including Kentucky and Florida, challenged the emissions rule in court.

The rule would have required states to set declining carbon dioxide emission targets for federal highways.

A similar ruling against the emissions rule came from a federal judge in Texas last week.
