Bill > HR3097

This bill requires federal agencies to exclusively purchase or lease zero-emission passenger vehicles (ZEVs) for their non-tactical vehicle fleets, with limited exceptions. Specifically, a federal agency head can only buy or lease a passenger vehicle from a non-federal entity if it is a zero-emission vehicle, which is defined as a vehicle that produces no exhaust emissions of pollutants or greenhouse gases during any mode of operation, as determined by the EPA. An agency head may obtain a non-ZEV only if they determine that a zero-emission vehicle is not technically feasible for a particular circumstance. The prohibition does not apply to vehicle purchases or leases made before the bill's enactment date. The bill covers vehicles in legislative, judicial, and executive branch agencies, aiming to reduce government transportation-related emissions by mandating a transition to environmentally cleaner vehicle technologies. This legislation represents a significant step towards reducing the federal government's carbon footprint and promoting the adoption of electric and other zero-emission vehicle technologies.
