H.B. No. 2440 amends the Transportation Code by adding Section 750.001, which outlines the authority of state agencies and the state's air quality state implementation plan regarding motor vehicles. The new section defines key terms such as "energy source" and "engine," and establishes that state agencies cannot prohibit or restrict the sale or use of motor vehicles based on their energy source. Additionally, it prohibits restrictions on an individual's ownership of motor vehicles powered by engines.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that the state's air quality state implementation plan must not contain provisions that limit a person's ability to purchase any motor vehicle, including those powered by engines. This legislation is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
