Bill > S990

This bill, known as the "Freedom to Haul Act of 2025," aims to limit the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) ability to regulate vehicle emissions. Specifically, the bill prohibits the EPA from implementing or enforcing the "Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards for Heavy-Duty Vehicles—Phase 3" rule that was published in April 2024. Additionally, the bill amends the Clean Air Act to restrict the EPA's regulatory power over vehicle emissions by preventing the agency from mandating specific technologies or creating regulations that would limit the availability of new motor vehicles based on engine type. The legislation requires the EPA to revise its existing regulations within two years to comply with these new restrictions, effectively constraining the agency's ability to impose stringent emissions standards that could potentially affect the production or sale of certain types of vehicles. The bill appears designed to protect automotive industry interests and maintain consumer access to a wide range of vehicle options by preventing potentially restrictive emissions regulations.
