S. 4931
The End EPA Abuse Act of 2026 would restrict the Environmental Protection Agency's regulatory power under the Clean Air Act by prohibiting rules that restrict vehicle choice, require power plants to switch fuels, reduce electric grid reliability, or mandate commercially unavailable or cost-prohibitive technologies. The bill specifically protects the ability to manufacture and sell internal combustion engine vehicles and prevents EPA regulations that would compromise power grid stability. The legislation affects anyone subject to EPA rules, including automakers, power plant operators, and businesses required to comply with air quality standards. The bill contains no specific funding provisions or implementation timelines beyond the regulatory prohibitions it establishes. Essentially, the legislation would limit EPA's authority to issue environmental regulations that the agency determines go beyond Congress's original intent or create practical or economic hardships for regulated entities.
