The Louisiana legislature approved PRI-supported legislation (H.B. 515) to ensure consumers' choice of vehicle powerplants and fuel technology by preventing a state agency from limiting access to certain power sources.   

Having passed both chambers, the bill now awaits final approval or veto by Governor Jeff Landry. 

"H.B. 515 is a pro-consumer, pro-innovation, and pro-business piece of legislation," said Colby Martin, PRI’s director of state government affairs. "PRI urges the governor to support this bill and allow the motorsports industry to continue delivering the freedom and choice that Louisianans deserve." 

Louisiana is among several states seeking similar proposals. PRI believes that Louisianans, not the government, should decide what vehicles are best for them and their families. This effort promotes consumer choice, fosters innovation, and protects jobs.
