## Summary

**Eliminates the federal requirement for state motor vehicle inspection and maintenance programs.** The bill would strike the mandatory I/M mandates and related rulemaking prerequisites in the Clean Air Act, removing the statutory triggers that currently push states to run vehicle emissions inspection programs and expanding state discretion over whether to require them. - States: States would no longer be bound by a federal legal requirement to operate inspection and maintenance programs and could choose whether to keep, change, or end existing I/M systems. - EPA and federal rules: The bill would amend multiple Clean Air Act provisions, including changes to sections 118, 182, 184, and 187, to remove language that enables the EPA to compel state I/M programs. - Funding and programs: The bill does not specify new federal funding, tax changes, sunsets, or phase-ins and does not create new federal programs.
