What’s in it

AI summary Government agencies and local offices cannot pass rules that stop people from owning, using, or fixing tools and machines that run on a specific type of fuel. These rules also prevent the government from forcing stores to carry or sell certain types of fuel-powered equipment based only on what kind of fuel it uses.¹

Why it matters. State and local government agencies would be prohibited from adopting regulations that prevent people from owning, using, or repairing equipment based on the specific type of fuel it uses. These government entities also could not require businesses to sell or stock certain fuel-powered equipment or parts solely because of how they are manufactured to be powered.²
