To prohibit the enforcement of laws relating to the installation, certification, and maintenance of emissions control devices under the Clean Air Act, and for other purposes.

H.R. 8079, introduced by Representative Mike Collins (R-GA) on March 25, 2026, would prevent the federal government from enforcing provisions of the Clean Air Act related to emissions control devices. Specifically, the bill targets rules governing how these devices are installed, certified, and maintained. If enacted, this legislation would effectively suspend enforcement of these environmental regulations.

The practical effect of this bill would be to remove federal oversight and penalties for violations related to emissions control device compliance. This could allow manufacturers and vehicle owners to operate without meeting current Clean Air Act standards in these areas. The bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, having just been introduced and referred to committee, with no votes scheduled at this time.
