"Vehicle Choice Protection Act"; prohibits State agencies from adopting rules, regulations, or policies that restrict or prohibit sale, registration, or use of new internal combustion vehicles in State.
The Vehicle Choice Protection Act prevents New Jersey state agencies from creating any rules or policies that ban or limit the sale, registration, or use of new internal combustion engine vehicles. This legislation defines internal combustion vehicles as those powered by gasoline, diesel, or other hydrocarbon fuels and explicitly forbids government bodies from restricting consumer access to these cars. By blocking future regulations that would phase out these vehicles, the bill ensures that drivers can continue to purchase and operate traditional cars without state interference. The law takes effect immediately upon introduction, securing the ability to buy and use new non-electric vehicles across the state.
