Ending Federal Emissions Control Requirements for Motor Vehicles and Engines.

This Act prohibits the enforcement of all federal laws requiring the installation, certification, and maintenance of emissions control devices and onboard diagnostic systems in motor vehicles. This means manufacturers are no longer obligated to install these systems, and citizens face no civil or criminal liability for modifying or using vehicles without them. While potentially reducing vehicle costs and modification restrictions, this change could lead to increased air pollution and impact public health.
Key points
Federal requirements for emissions control devices and onboard diagnostic systems on motor vehicles are prohibited.
The EPA loses authority to enforce any regulations requiring the installation or maintenance of these devices under the Clean Air Act.
No civil or criminal liability for manufacturing, selling, using, or modifying vehicles without emissions control devices.
Existing regulations related to the installation or removal of these devices are repealed, and past criminal penalties are vacated.
