The bill introduces a new section to the Air Quality Control Act that explicitly prohibits state agencies, local boards, and municipalities from adopting or enforcing rules that restrict or limit the production and delivery of zero-emission vehicles. Specifically, it prevents any regulations that would restrict the delivery, use, lease, sale, or purchase of vehicles based on their energy source, including internal combustion engine vehicles.

The new legal language clarifies that no authority can impose requirements on businesses or individuals regarding the energy source of vehicles they may deliver, use, lease, sell, or purchase. This includes prohibitions on establishing quotas or percentages for vehicle types based on their energy source, thereby ensuring that the market for vehicles remains open and unrestricted by state or local regulations.
