Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This bill would stop the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from using tailpipe rules in a way that forces certain vehicle technologies or makes some types of new cars hard to find. It says any EPA rule on new car emissions, from January 1, 2021 and onward, cannot require a specific technology and cannot reduce the availability of new cars based on what kind of engine they have (like gas, hybrid, or electric) .
If it becomes law, the EPA would have up to two years to update its rules to match these limits. The goal is to keep a wide range of new vehicles available for buyers, while still allowing emissions standards that don’t pick winners or losers among engine types.
