What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Protecting Lifesaving Operations during Winter Storms Act," aims to amend the Clean Air Act. It seeks to update the definition of a "covered fleet" by including specific municipal equipment. The amendment adds dedicated-use vehicles and machinery owned or operated by State, local, or tribal governments to the list of emergency vehicles. This includes equipment used primarily for clearing snow or ice from public roads, rights-of-way, or other public property.
