NO EXHAUST Act of 2021

Bill 117 HR 2852, also known as the NO EXHAUST Act of 2021, aims to address the issue of excessive vehicle exhaust emissions in the United States. The bill was introduced in the House of Representatives on April 20, 2021, by Representative Betty McCollum from Minnesota.

The main goal of the NO EXHAUST Act is to reduce harmful pollutants emitted from vehicles by requiring the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish stricter standards for exhaust emissions. This includes setting limits on the amount of pollutants such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter that can be emitted by vehicles.

Additionally, the bill calls for increased funding for research and development of cleaner vehicle technologies, such as electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. It also incentivizes the production and purchase of low-emission vehicles through tax credits and other financial incentives. Furthermore, the NO EXHAUST Act includes provisions to improve air quality monitoring and reporting, as well as measures to enforce compliance with the new emissions standards. This includes penalties for manufacturers who fail to meet the requirements set forth by the EPA. Overall, the NO EXHAUST Act of 2021 seeks to reduce air pollution and improve public health by addressing the issue of vehicle exhaust emissions in the United States. The bill is currently under review by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
