Bill > HB1595

This bill aims to eliminate Pennsylvania's existing Heavy-Duty Diesel Emissions Control Program regulations (specifically Chapter 126, Subchapter E) and replace them with federal standards for heavy-duty diesel vehicles and engines. The legislation, called the "Abrogation of Heavy-Duty Diesel Emissions Control Program Regulations Act," effectively removes the state-specific emissions control program and defaults to federal regulatory standards. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage, which means that instead of following Pennsylvania's previous state-specific emissions regulations, heavy-duty diesel vehicles and engines in the Commonwealth will now be required to comply with federal environmental and emissions standards. This change could potentially simplify regulatory compliance for vehicle and engine operators by creating a uniform national standard, though the specific implications for air quality and emissions control are not detailed in the bill text.
