Bill > HR8079

This bill, known as the "Diesel Truck Liberation Act of 2026," aims to prohibit the enforcement of federal laws and regulations concerning emissions control devices and onboard diagnostic systems on motor vehicles and engines. Specifically, it prevents manufacturers, importers, and distributors from being required to install, certify, or maintain these devices. The Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is also barred from creating or enforcing any such requirements under the Clean Air Act or other federal laws. Furthermore, the bill shields individuals and businesses from civil or criminal penalties related to the manufacture, sale, purchase, use, or modification of vehicles or engines that lack these emissions control systems. Any existing regulations on this matter are declared void, and any past criminal or civil penalties related to such conduct will be vacated and expunged from records. The Clean Air Act is a landmark piece of U.S. legislation designed to control air pollution on a national level.
