Relating to the labeling, advertising, and sale of products as "zero emissions."

HB 862 prohibits businesses from labeling, advertising, or selling products as "zero emissions" if the product produces emissions during use, if emissions were generated during manufacturing, or if emissions are produced to charge the product's battery. It directly affects manufacturers and sellers of products like electric vehicles, appliances, and electronics making such claims. The bill establishes clear standards under Texas Business & Commerce Code, making violations a deceptive trade practice actionable by consumers. The law would take effect September 1, 2025, if enacted.
