## Summary

**Protect consumer choice by banning tailpipe rules that force a particular propulsion technology or restrict vehicle availability by engine type.** This bill would amend the Clean Air Act so tailpipe standards cannot mandate specific technologies and would require the EPA to align existing and future rules with that ban. - Families and car buyers: Keeps multiple propulsion options—electric, hybrid, gasoline, and others—available by blocking tailpipe rules that limit availability based on engine type. - Automakers and dealers: Prevents regulators from writing tailpipe standards that compel a single technology, reducing the chance that standards alone force one manufacturing pathway. - EPA and rulemaking: Requires the Environmental Protection Agency to revise regulations within 24 months of enactment to conform to the ban and applies to rules proposed or prescribed on or after January 1, 2021. *Would not authorize new federal spending and is expected to leave federal outlays largely unchanged while requiring the EPA to update rules within two years.*
