Bill > S996

This bill, called the "Preserving Choice in Vehicle Purchases Act of 2025," aims to modify the Clean Air Act to prevent states from implementing regulations that would limit the sale of new motor vehicles with internal combustion engines. Specifically, the bill amends Section 209(b) of the Clean Air Act to prohibit states from creating standards that directly or indirectly restrict the sale or use of new vehicles with internal combustion engines, as defined in federal regulations as of January 1, 2023. The bill also gives the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator the power to revoke any existing waivers granted to states between January 1, 2022, and the bill's enactment date if those waivers do not comply with the new restrictions. This legislation effectively prevents states from implementing aggressive vehicle emissions regulations that might ban or severely limit the sale of traditional gasoline and diesel-powered vehicles, protecting consumer choice and the continued production of internal combustion engine vehicles.
