                                 A BILL


 
   To prohibit any electric vehicle mandate, and for other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Federal Electric Vehicle Mandate 
Prohibition Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) Consumer choice in the automotive market is paramount.
            (2) Federal mandates on electric vehicles (EV) impose undue 
        burdens on consumers and manufacturers.
            (3) Such mandates disrupt market dynamics and inhibit 
        technological innovation.
            (4) Federal EV mandates undermine free market principles 
        and impose unnecessary costs on American consumers and 
        businesses.

SEC. 3. PROHIBITION ON RESTRICTING SALE OF VEHICLES BASED ON MODE OF 
              PROPULSION.

    (a) Prohibition.--The Federal Government, a State, and local 
government may not prohibit the sale of gas and hybrid powered vehicles 
sold based on the mode of propulsion, including through the following:
            (1) Any regulation or enforcement of a regulation that 
        requires the production, sale, or purchase of electric 
        vehicles.
            (2) A mandate that requires a specific percentage of 
        vehicles produced or sold to be electric vehicles, including 
        any school bus or other vehicle use by a public safety 
        official.
            (3) A financial penalty for failing to meet electric 
        vehicle production or sales targets.
    (b) Penalty.--With respect to a State (or local government in a 
State) that takes an action prohibited by subsection (a) during a 
fiscal year, the Secretary of Transportation shall withhold 10 percent 
of the amount required to be apportioned to such State under section 
104(b) of title 23, United States Code, for the following fiscal year.
    (c) GAO Review.--Not later than one year after the date of the 
enactment of this section, and annually thereafter, the Comptroller 
General shall submit to Congress a report on Federal Government 
activity to ensure compliance with this section.
    (d) State Defined.--In this section, the term ``State'' means each 
of the several States, the District of Columbia, each commonwealth, 
territory, or possession of the United States, and each federally 
recognized Indian Tribe.
