President Trump Issues Memorandum Promoting 'Freedom to Fix' Vehicle Emissions

President Donald J. Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum directing the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to issue guidance clarifying actions individuals can take to fix their vehicles' emissions systems, consistent with the Clean Air Act. The memorandum also encourages alternative certification pathways for aftermarket parts and suggests deprioritizing civil enforcement actions against individuals who, in good faith, attempt to fix their vehicles to their original configuration.
