HR 312 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Restoring Vehicle Market Freedom Act of 2025
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to repeal certain credits relating to alternative fuel vehicles.
Summary
The bill repeals five tax credits related to alternative fuel and electric vehicles from the Internal Revenue Code. Specifically, it eliminates the previously owned clean vehicle credit, the alternative motor vehicle credit, the alternative fuel vehicle refueling property credit, the new qualified plug-in electric drive motor vehicle credit, and the credit for qualified commercial clean vehicles. The bill also makes conforming amendments to other sections of the tax code to account for the repeal of these credits. The repeals are effective for vehicles or property acquired or placed in service after the date the bill is enacted. The changes eliminate tax incentives that were previously available to individuals and businesses purchasing or using alternative fuel and electric vehicles.
