Federal funds would be blocked from buying vehicles and parts from companies tied to countries like China.
This bill would stop federal agencies and groups that get federal money from buying certain vehicles, like buses. It would also block them from buying electric parts if those items come from companies tied to specific foreign countries, such as China. The goal is to address national security risks and keep taxpayer dollars from funding these foreign-linked companies. A public list of prohibited companies would be created and regularly updated.
