Update: U.S. House, Senate Bills That Would Protect Racecars Introduced

By SEMA Washington, D.C., Staff

This week the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate introduced legislation that would protect modified racecars from overreaching EPA regulations and preserve our nation’s racing industry and pastime. Referred to as The Recognizing the Protection of Motorsports Act of 2016 (RPM Act), both bills seek to ensure that converting street vehicles to racecars used exclusively in competition does not violate the Clean Air Act.

SEMA urges readers to write to their members of congress to ask them to support the RPM Act. The SEMA Action Network (SAN) website makes it easy to identify your elected officials and send them letters supporting the RPM Act. Visit www.sema.org/rpmletter today!
