This bill establishes new regulations that prohibit state and local government entities in Iowa from enacting or maintaining any regulations that restrict the possession, storage, transfer, acquisition, operation, maintenance, repair, or reuse of fuel-powered equipment based solely on the equipment's fuel source. It defines "fuel source" to include various substances used to power internal combustion engines and energy sources for electric motors, while "fuel-powered equipment" encompasses any goods manufactured to operate with an engine or motor.

Additionally, the bill mandates that sellers of fuel-powered equipment cannot be required to sell or maintain an inventory of such equipment based on its fuel source. Any regulations that contradict these provisions are deemed void and unenforceable. The bill also amends existing laws to ensure that counties and cities cannot adopt regulations governing fuel-powered equipment that conflict with the new provisions outlined in the bill.
