YourVoice.Now Summary
Farm equipment — tractors, combines, and other off-road vehicles and engines used for agricultural purposes — would be permanently exempt from Clean Air Act emission standards. Currently, the EPA sets pollution limits for these "nonroad" engines. The exemption would apply broadly to any nonroad engine or vehicle used in farming, with no phase-in period or alternative requirements.
