AN ACT RESTRICTING THE SALE OF CERTAIN PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLES IN THE STATE.

HB 6696 requires motor vehicle dealers to certify that battery components in plug-in hybrid electric vehicles sold in the state are sourced from suppliers not using slave or child labor. This bill directly affects dealers selling plug-in hybrid vehicles by adding a certification requirement before they can legally sell these vehicles. The key provision mandates dealers to verify the labor practices of battery component suppliers as a condition of sale. The bill does not ban specific vehicles but restricts sales until this certification is provided.
