The bill proposes the repeal of Minnesota's clean car rules, specifically targeting Minnesota Rules, parts 7023.0150, 7023.0200, 7023.0250, and 7023.0300, which established standards for low-emission and zero-emission vehicles to reduce air pollution from vehicles in the state. The new legal language included in the bill explicitly states that these rules are to be repealed, effectively eliminating the regulatory framework that mandated emissions standards and compliance requirements for motor vehicle manufacturers operating in Minnesota.
By repealing these rules, the bill removes the requirements for manufacturers to certify their vehicles to specific emissions standards, report on fleet average emissions, and adhere to environmental performance labels and warranty requirements. This legislative change signifies a shift away from stringent environmental regulations concerning vehicle emissions in Minnesota, potentially impacting air quality and public health.
