Consumer Goods - Restrictions Based on Energy Source - Prohibition (Energy Equality Act of 2026)

Summary

The bill bars any local or state government in Maryland from preventing the sale, purchase, or use of a product—such as a car or appliance—just because of the type of energy that powers it. It also eliminates existing statutes that required the Department of the Environment to run a low‑emissions vehicle program and to set rules for selling new zero‑emission medium‑ and heavy‑duty trucks. The repeal applies retroactively, voiding any past restrictions of this kind.
