Limits on EPA rules for vehicles and energy

If enacted, this bill would limit the EPA Administrator’s authority under the Clean Air Act. It would bar any regulation, waiver, or authorization that can reasonably be determined to: restrict the sale or use of any vehicle or engine (including new motor vehicles with internal combustion engines as defined in 40 C.F.R. 63.9375 as of January 1, 2026); require fuel-switching at a power plant; or reduce electric grid reliability. It would also bar rules that require technologies that are commercially unavailable, cost-prohibitive without subsidies (including direct or indirect subsidies), infeasible because of geography, geology, climate, or lack of critical infrastructure, or otherwise technically or economically infeasible. The restriction would take effect upon enactment. Vehicle makers, utilities, power plant operators, and fuel suppliers would be directly protected from those covered rules. Households could see fewer new vehicle and power-sector rules, lower compliance costs for industry, and possible reductions in environmental or public-health protections.
