As a local auto repair shop owner, I strongly support consumer choice. It is critical that the government not tell Iowa’s residents what kind of car they can drive or what kind of equipment they use.
That’s why I’d like to thank the Iowa Legislature for passing HF860. This is a common-sense bill that protects Iowans’ right to choose the equipment and vehicles that work best for them – whether powered by gas, electricity, or anything else. It ensures state and local governments can’t discriminate against certain engines just because of the fuel they use.
That matters a lot for small businesses, working families, and everyone in between. I understand new technologies will emerge and become more popular, and I think that’s a wonderful thing. But Iowans need the ability to make the right decision for themselves, their families, and their wallets.
HF860 doesn’t pick winners and losers. It simply says the free market will guide what equipment or vehicles we buy, use, and maintain. It preserves consumer choice, flexibility, and the practicality that built this state originally.
Again, I’d like to thank the Iowa Legislature for passing HF860, and I would encourage Gov. Reynolds to sign it into law quickly. – Mo
