## Summary

**Bars EPA from enforcing the Phase 3 heavy‑duty vehicle greenhouse gas standards.** This bill would also stop tailpipe regulations from forcing specific vehicle technologies or from limiting the availability of new vehicles by engine type. - Manufacturers: Would block the Phase 3 rule and forbid rules that mandate particular technologies, preserving the ability to produce and sell multiple engine types including diesel. - Fleets and drivers: Would keep access to a broader range of new heavy‑duty vehicles by engine type so buyers and operators face fewer forced shifts in vehicle technology. - Regulators and rulemaking: Would restrict EPA's authority to require tech mandates and would require EPA to revise affected regulations within two years to comply with the new limits.
