Ban on Funding EPA Vehicle Emissions Standards Enforcement.
This bill aims to prohibit the use of public funds in fiscal year 2024 for implementing or enforcing new, strict emissions standards set by the EPA for light-duty and medium-duty vehicles starting with model year 2027. If passed, the EPA would be prevented from enforcing these specific pollution rules. This could affect the types and costs of new vehicles available to consumers and potentially slow progress toward air quality goals.
Key points
Funding Prohibition: Blocks the use of 2024 funds to enforce strict new multi-pollutant emissions rules for cars and light trucks (Model Year 2027 and later).
Vehicle Standards: Prevents the immediate implementation of stricter pollution controls, potentially slowing the transition to lower-emission vehicles.
