Bill > SB184

This bill aims to prevent state agencies and local government units from imposing restrictions on motor vehicles or other devices based solely on their energy source. Specifically, the legislation would prohibit government entities from limiting the use or sale of a motor vehicle because of how it is powered, whether that involves propulsion or operating other vehicle functions. Similarly, the bill would block restrictions on other devices based on their energy source or power consumption. This means that governmental bodies would be prevented from creating rules that, for example, ban the sale or use of gasoline-powered cars, diesel trucks, electric vehicles, or devices powered by specific types of energy sources. The intent appears to be protecting consumer choice and preventing potential local or state-level regulations that might mandate specific energy technologies or discriminate against particular power sources for vehicles or other equipment.
