This bill would exempt diesel-fueled emergency vehicles from certain air pollution control requirements under the Clean Air Act. Emergency vehicles are defined as those designed to transport personnel and equipment while suppressing fires and responding to hazardous situations, such as fire trucks and rescue vehicles. The exemption applies to both the vehicles themselves and their diesel engines from specific emission standards that normally apply to other vehicles. The bill does not specify any funding, implementation timeline, or sunset date for the exemption. The legislation was introduced in December 2024 and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
