Free Market Drives Itself Act

HR 8737, the "Free Market Drives Itself Act," repeals a working group established under the Infrastructure and Investment and Jobs Act to coordinate electric vehicle infrastructure efforts and prohibits the Departments of Energy and Transportation from continuing or creating any similar advisory group. This bill directly affects these federal agencies by eliminating an existing advisory body focused on electric vehicle policy and banning its replacement. The key mechanism is the explicit repeal of Section 25006 of the Infrastructure and Investment and Jobs Act and a binding prohibition on reestablishing comparable structures. The policy change removes a specific coordination mechanism without altering broader electric vehicle funding or regulations.
