Official Summary

Congressional Research Service summary

Choice in Automobile Retail Sales Act of 2023 This bill limits the authority of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with regard to regulating emissions standards for new motor vehicles. Specifically, the EPA is prohibited from prescribing a regulation related to new motor vehicle emissions standards that (1) mandates the use of any specific technology, or (2) results in limited availability of new motor vehicles based on the type of new motor vehicle engine. Additionally, the bill prohibits the EPA from finalizing, implementing, or enforcing the proposed rule titled Multi-Pollutant Emissions Standards for Model Years 2027 and Later Light-Duty and Medium-Duty Vehicles. Among other purposes, the proposed rule includes more stringent greenhouse gas standards for both light-duty and medium duty vehicles starting with model year 2027.

Key Points

Main provisions of the bill

Prohibits the EPA from prescribing emissions regulations that mandate specific technologies or limit vehicle availability based on engine type
Blocks the EPA from finalizing and enforcing proposed rules that would impose more stringent greenhouse gas standards for light-duty and medium-duty vehicles starting in 2027
Aims to provide automakers and consumers with more flexibility in vehicle choices and technologies

How This Impacts Americans

Potential effects on citizens and communities

If this bill becomes law, it would reduce the EPA's ability to regulate vehicle emissions and greenhouse gas standards, which could impact efforts to address climate change and air pollution. Automakers would have more freedom to produce a wider variety of vehicle types and technologies, which could benefit consumers but could also lead to increased emissions in the absence of strict federal regulations.
