Plain Language Summary

# Green Federal Fleet Act Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The Green Federal Fleet Act would require federal agencies to purchase or lease only zero-emission vehicles (like electric cars) when buying passenger vehicles from outside companies. The requirement wouldn't apply to tactical/specialized vehicles (such as police or military vehicles) or in cases where zero-emission options aren't technically available yet. Essentially, it's aimed at transitioning the federal government's regular car fleet to cleaner energy sources. **Who It Affects** This bill primarily affects federal agencies that buy or lease vehicles for their operations, such as the General Services Administration and various government departments.

It would also indirectly impact vehicle manufacturers and leasing companies that do business with the federal government, as they'd need to supply electric or other zero-emission options. **Current Status** The bill was introduced by Representative Julia Brownley (D-CA) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it hasn't yet been debated or voted on by the full House. It has not advanced further in the legislative process.

CRS Official Summary

Green Federal Fleet Act This bill requires passenger vehicles that are purchased or leased from a nonfederal entity by a federal agency to be zero-emission vehicles. This requirement does not apply to tactical vehicles or in circumstances where a zero-emission vehicle is not technically feasible.
