WASHINGTON DC (09/14/2023) – Today, the House passed H.R. 1435, the Preserving Choice in Vehicle Purchases Act, by a vote of 222-190. H.R. 1435 prevents states like California – or any other state – from banning internal combustion vehicles. The CA waiver authority in the Clean Air Act was never intended to give regulators the ability to ban gas-powered cars and trucks. This measure simply reinforces that position.

W.Va.), once again, introduced legislation that will do little to actually solve our nation’s permitting issues, and, in many cases, it might actually make them worse. The measure seemingly seeks to reform the federal permitting process, but mainly is a vehicle to congressionally authorize the West Virginia Senator's pet project, the Mountain Valley Pipeline.

AEA President Thomas Pyle issued the following statement:
