Republican congressmen filed legislation on March 8 to prevent states such as California from banning the sale of gas-fueled cars and light trucks.
The Preserving Choice in Vehicle Purchases Act—introduced by Reps. John Joyce (R-Pa.), Bob Latta (R-Ohio), Gus Bilirakis (R-Fla.), and Jay Obernolte (R-Calif.)—would restrict the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from issuing the waiver California needs to enact regulations such as the one passed last year to ban the sale of new gas cars by 2035.
