Contact Congress about H.R. 2165: Choice in Automobile Retail Sales Act of 2025

The EPA could not use tailpipe pollution rules to force one vehicle technology. It also could not write rules that make new vehicles harder to buy because of engine type. The EPA would have two years to update affected rules.

Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

Choice in Automobile Retail Sales Act of 2025 is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Sponsor introductory remarks on measure. (CR H1317).

Latest action on H.R. 2165: Sponsor introductory remarks on measure. (CR H1317)

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects the EPA, vehicle makers, dealers, and people buying new cars or trucks. The EPA would have less freedom when writing tailpipe pollution rules. Automakers and dealers could have more room to sell different engine types. Buyers could see more vehicle choices, but the bill could also slow rules meant to cut pollution faster.

Why this matters: This bill matters because it could change both vehicle choice and air pollution rules. Today, the EPA can set tailpipe standards that may push the market toward cleaner technologies. This bill would limit that power when the rule requires one technology or reduces vehicle supply by engine type. The real effect would depend on how the EPA changes its rules and how automakers respond.

Key provisions in H.R. 2165

  • The bill applies to EPA tailpipe pollution rules for new cars and trucks. It covers rules proposed or issued on or after January 1, 2021.
  • The EPA could not use these rules to force one specific technology in new vehicles.
  • The EPA could not write rules that make new vehicles hard to get because of engine type.
  • The EPA Administrator would have to change affected rules when needed to follow the bill.
  • The EPA would have 24 months after the bill becomes law to finish those changes.
