Choice in Automobile Retail Sales Act of 2025

# Choice in Automobile Retail Sales Act of 2025 - Summary **What the bill would do:** This bill would restrict the EPA's power to set emissions rules for new cars and trucks. Specifically, it would prevent the EPA from requiring automakers to use particular technologies (like electric vehicle batteries) or from creating regulations that significantly reduce the availability of certain vehicle types (such as gas-powered cars). Essentially, the bill aims to limit how strict the EPA can be when regulating what comes out of vehicle tailpipes. **Who it affects:** The bill would impact the EPA's regulatory authority, automakers, and consumers.

Automakers would have more flexibility in how they meet emissions standards, while consumers might have broader vehicle choices. Environmental groups and those seeking stricter pollution controls would likely oppose it, while those concerned about increased regulations on industry would support it. **Current status:** The bill was introduced in the 119th Congress by Representative Tim Walberg (R-MI) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House. It has not advanced to a vote at this time.
