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
Read the official explanation
This bill prohibits a government entity, including a state department or political subdivision, from adopting or continuing in effect a regulation that prohibits a person from possessing, storing, transferring, acquiring, operating, maintaining, repairing, or reusing fuel-powered equipment or parts thereof because such equipment is manufactured to be powered by a specific fuel source. The bill also prohibits a government entity from requiring a seller of fuel-powered equipment or parts thereof to sell or maintain an inventory of fuel-powered equipment or parts thereof solely because the equipment is manufactured to be powered by a specific fuel source.
