HB 2192 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to restrictions on use or sale of motor vehicles based on power source

HB 2192 prohibits West Virginia state agencies and local governments from restricting the use or sale of motor vehicles based on their power source (such as gasoline, electricity, or other energy types). The bill adds new sections to state law (§17-14-1 and §17-14-2) explicitly stating that no government entity may impose such restrictions on vehicles for propulsion or other functions. It does not affect government purchasing policies for their own vehicle fleets. This bill directly affects all state and local government operations that might regulate vehicle use or sales. The legislation aims to ensure equal treatment of all vehicle power sources under government rules.
