Choice in Automobile Retail Sales Act of 2025
Sponsored By: Senator Crapo, Mike [R-ID]
Introduced
Summary
This bill would block tailpipe rules from forcing automakers to use particular technologies. It would repeal EPA’s April 2024 "Multi-Pollutant Emissions Standards" for model years 2027 and later and change the Clean Air Act to forbid regulations that mandate specific technology or limit new-vehicle availability by engine type.
Show full summary
- Drivers and families: Keeps broader access to different engine types because regulators could not limit the availability of new vehicles by engine type.
- Automakers: Prevents tailpipe rules from requiring the use of any specific technology, so companies would not be compelled to adopt a single technical solution.
- Environmental regulators: Requires the Environmental Protection Agency to revise relevant regulations within 24 months so those rules conform to the ban on technology mandates and availability limits.

New limits on EPA vehicle rules
If enacted, this bill would void the EPA final rule published April 18, 2024 (89 Fed. Reg. 27842). It would bar EPA from writing vehicle rules that force any specific technology or that limit new cars by engine type. The ban would apply to rules issued after January 1, 2021 and to rules proposed after the bill is enacted. The EPA would have 24 months after enactment to revise its regulations to follow this ban. Car makers, dealers, and buyers could see changes to model choices, compliance duties, and prices.
