Diesel Truck Liberation Act of 2026
This bill would prohibit federal laws from requiring manufacturers to install emissions control devices or onboard diagnostic systems on diesel trucks and other motor vehicles. It removes the Environmental Protection Agency's authority to enforce existing emissions regulations and eliminates liability for anyone who manufactures, sells, or modifies vehicles without these devices. The legislation also repeals current federal regulations related to emissions controls and would erase criminal or civil penalties for past violations of these rules.
