Establishes that all vehicles purchased or leased by a governmental unit after January 1, 2025, must be a zero-emissions vehicle or converted zero-emissions vehicle. Provides that a "zero-emissions" vehicle means a passenger (rather than a passenger and commercial) motor vehicle that produces zero exhaust emissions of any criteria pollutant, precursor pollutant, or greenhouse gas, but only produces water vapor, in any mode of operation or condition, as determined by the Agency. Requires the Environmental Protection Agency to adopt rules to implement and enforce the Act.
