Show full summary
  • Federal agencies and fleet managers would be barred from purchasing or leasing non-tactical passenger vehicles from non-Federal entities unless the vehicle is zero-emission. The prohibition covers purchases and leases entered into after enactment and does not apply to those made before enactment.
  • Vehicle manufacturers and sellers would face a nationwide procurement preference that shifts federal demand toward zero-emission passenger vehicles.
  • The bill defines a zero-emission vehicle as one that produces zero exhaust emissions of any criteria pollutant, precursor pollutant, or greenhouse gas except water vapor, as determined by the Environmental Protection Agency Administrator. It includes a technical infeasibility exemption and does not specify funding or additional enforcement programs beyond the procurement rule and exemption.

Federal agencies would buy zero-emission vehicles

The bill would require federal agencies to buy or lease only zero-emission, non-tactical passenger vehicles from non-federal sellers. An agency head could approve a non-zero-emission vehicle only when a zero-emission option is not technically feasible for that specific use. This would apply only to purchases and leases made after enactment, and would not affect deals made before then. The rule would cover agencies in the legislative, judicial, and executive branches. Zero-emission would be set by EPA and means no exhaust of criteria pollutants, precursor pollutants, or greenhouse gases, other than water vapor.
