Key points
States prohibiting the sale of non-zero-emission vehicles will lose 15% of their federal highway funds.
Exception: States can avoid fund withholding if they impose a vehicle fee comparable to a gasoline tax in revenue.
The goal is to maintain the availability of internal combustion vehicles in the market for citizens.
