What this bill would do

This bill is called the Preserving Choice in Vehicle Purchases Act. It changes the Clean Air Act to stop the elimination of the sale of internal combustion engines. The text stops the Administrator from granting waivers to states if their standards directly or indirectly limit the sale or use of new motor vehicles with internal combustion engines. It also prevents the Administrator from determining that any state standards amended after the enactment date are within the scope of a prior waiver. Finally, it requires the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to revoke certain existing waivers granted between January 1, 2022, and the date of enactment if they do not comply with the new rule.
