Green Federal Fleet: Ban on Combustion Vehicle Purchases by Government Agencies.

This new law aims to mandate federal agencies to purchase or lease only zero-emission vehicles. This means the government will invest in cleaner transportation technologies, potentially contributing to improved air quality and reduced harmful emissions, positively impacting public health and the environment, although it does not directly alter citizens' daily obligations.
Key points
Federal agencies will be prohibited from purchasing or leasing new non-tactical passenger vehicles that are not zero-emission vehicles.
An exemption exists if using a zero-emission vehicle is deemed technically unfeasible in a particular circumstance.
The changes apply to passenger vehicles, excluding tactical vehicles (e.g., military).
