Choice in Automobile Retail Sales Act of 2025
To repeal a rule of the Environmental Protection Agency with respect to multi-pollutant emissions standards, to amend the Clean Air Act to ensure that tailpipe regulations do not limit the availability of new motor vehicles, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill repeals an Environmental Protection Agency rule that established multi-pollutant emissions standards for new light-duty and medium-duty vehicles from model years 2027 and later. It amends the Clean Air Act to restrict how the EPA can regulate tailpipe emissions by prohibiting emissions regulations from mandating specific engine technologies or limiting the availability of new vehicles based on engine type. The bill requires the EPA to revise existing emissions regulations within 24 months to comply with these new restrictions. These provisions apply to all current and future emissions regulations, including those proposed after the bill's enactment.
