Fuel Emissions Freedom Act: The Bill That Could SAVE America’s Auto Industry

House Bill H.R. 4117, the Fuel Emissions Freedom Act, first introduced on June 24, 2025, is shaking up debate across the automotive world. The legislation, now under review by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, seeks to repeal federal and state motor vehicle emission and fuel economy standards under the Clean Air Act and related laws.

Its stated goals? Lower costs for consumers, simplify compliance for automakers, and revive U.S. competitiveness. But behind the legal jargon lies a direct challenge to one of the most powerful forces in U.S. auto regulation: California.

What Is H.R. 4117 — and Why Is It a Game-Changer?
The bill, sponsored by Representative Roger Williams of Texas and cosponsored by Representatives Michael Cloud, Brandon Gill, and Victoria Spartz, takes aim at Section 202 of the Clean Air Act (federal emissions standards) and portions of Title 49 of the U.S. Code (CAFE standards).

But the sharpest edge of H.R. 4117 is its intent to nullify state-level mandates like California’s Advanced Clean Cars II program, which requires 100% zero-emission vehicle sales by 2035. If passed, the bill would prevent California—and any other state following its lead—from setting their own emission or fuel rules, putting Washington and Sacramento directly at odds.
