Introduced June 2, 2026 by Glenn Grothman · Last progress June 2, 2026
Removes multiple Clean Air Act provisions that authorize or require state motor vehicle inspection and maintenance (I/M) programs and related procedural authorities. The changes strike several statutory subsections, paragraphs, and extended text across Clean Air Act sections to narrow or eliminate federal statutory mandates concerning vehicle I/M requirements and implementation language. The bill is short and surgical: it repeals enumerated statutory text rather than adding new regulatory programs, shifting the statutory framework for how states and the federal government address motor vehicle inspection and maintenance requirements under the Clean Air Act.
