Bill 119 s 1229, also known as the "Clean Vehicle Credit Repeal Act," is a proposed piece of legislation that aims to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 by repealing the clean vehicle credit. This credit currently provides tax incentives for individuals and businesses who purchase or lease qualifying clean vehicles, such as electric or hybrid cars.

If passed, this bill would eliminate the tax benefits associated with purchasing clean vehicles, which are designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote environmental sustainability. Supporters of the bill argue that the clean vehicle credit is costly and ineffective, and that the government should not be subsidizing certain types of vehicles over others.

Opponents of the bill, however, argue that repealing the clean vehicle credit would hinder efforts to combat climate change and promote the adoption of cleaner transportation options. They believe that the tax incentives provided by the credit are essential for encouraging consumers to choose environmentally friendly vehicles. Overall, the passage of Bill 119 s 1229 would have significant implications for the clean vehicle industry and the broader efforts to reduce carbon emissions in the United States. It is important for lawmakers to carefully consider the potential impacts of repealing the clean vehicle credit before making a decision on this legislation.
