RPM Act of 2021
Summary
The Recognizing the Protection of Motorsports (RPM) Act of 2021 would clarify federal law to allow the conversion of street-legal vehicles into dedicated race cars used exclusively for competition. Under this bill, modifying a vehicle’s emissions system for racing purposes would be legally protected, provided the vehicle is no longer operated on public roads. Additionally, the bill prohibits the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from requiring the registration of these vehicles or their parts, ensuring that enthusiasts and businesses can continue to manufacture and install performance components without federal interference. For the average citizen, this legislation aims to protect the amateur racing hobby and the automotive aftermarket industry from emissions-related enforcement actions.
