This bill, named the "Fuel Emissions Freedom Act," aims to eliminate federal and state motor vehicle emission and fuel standards. Congress finds that current regulations increase consumer and manufacturing costs, create uncertainty, stifle innovation, and burden businesses. The bill asserts that removing these standards will restore regulatory certainty, lower costs, and strengthen manufacturing. To achieve this, the bill repeals Section 202 of the Clean Air Act , which establishes motor vehicle emission standards, and significantly amends Section 209 to preempt state emission standards . It also repeals federal automobile fuel economy standards found in sections 32902 through 32918 of title 49, United States Code. Furthermore, the Act explicitly nullifies all existing federal and state regulations related to these standards and prohibits any future establishment or enforcement of motor vehicle fuel emission standards by federal or state governments.
