Rewrites and reauthorizes the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act by replacing the current text of Section 797(a) of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 with new statutory language. The change updates the statutory authorization itself but does not in the provided text set specific funding levels, effective dates, or identify implementing agencies.
The legislative change preserves the program framework (a federal vehicle and engine emissions reduction program administered under existing law) while leaving details such as appropriations, program rules, and implementation to future congressional funding and agency action.
