HR 10458 United States House · 118th Congress

Emergency Vehicles Responsiveness Act of 2024

This bill exempts diesel-powered emergency vehicles from certain federal air pollution requirements under the Clean Air Act. It specifically applies to vehicles designed for emergency response, including fire suppression, hazardous situation mitigation, and transporting personnel/equipment. The exemption covers both the vehicles and their diesel engines, removing a requirement that would otherwise apply to most diesel vehicles. This change directly affects fire departments, police, and emergency medical services that operate diesel emergency vehicles. The bill modifies existing Clean Air Act provisions to create this specific exception.
