House Joint Resolution No. ___, introduced by a group of Montana legislators, requests that the United States Congress eliminate any requirements or obligations for the purchase of electric vehicles (EVs). The resolution highlights the reliance of Montanans on gas-powered vehicles due to the state's rural nature, the limited range of EVs, and the insufficient availability of charging stations outside urban areas. It also points out that the harsh weather conditions in Montana can significantly reduce the range of EVs, making them potentially unsuitable for the state's driving needs.

The resolution expresses gratitude to former President Donald Trump for his actions to eliminate the EV mandate and emphasizes the belief that Montanans should have the freedom to choose between electric and gas-powered vehicles based on their personal needs. It calls on Congress to allow residents to select the type of vehicle that best suits their requirements, thereby ensuring that they can travel, haul goods, and conduct business without restrictions imposed by vehicle mandates.
