This bill would prohibit the federal government, states, and local governments from implementing any rules that mandate electric vehicle production or sales. The legislation specifically blocks regulations requiring a certain percentage of vehicles sold be electric, bans financial penalties for failing to meet EV targets, and applies to all vehicles including school buses and public safety vehicles. The bill affects automakers, state and local governments, and consumers by preventing any entity from restricting sales of gas-powered or hybrid vehicles based on their fuel type. If a state violates these restrictions, the Secretary of Transportation would withhold 10 percent of that state's federal highway funding for the following year. The bill also requires the Government Accountability Office to submit annual reports to Congress reviewing federal compliance with these restrictions, beginning one year after the law's enactment.
