Any update on either the regulation language or the status of the proposed law that was written to allow this ? Is this new law something that the current President would sign into law ?

I haven't seen anything new specifically on the RPM Act, but you can follow all of the new developments on this topic on SEMA's website dedicated to it.

It does seem as though this is starting to gain some positive traction in Washington. From an article posted yesterday:

Re: EPA To Prohibit the Conversion of Street Cars into Race
 

I saw this on another site. It is in response to a letter written to a congressman in Oklahoma.




Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and concerns regarding H.R. 4715, the Recognizing the Protection of Motorsports Act of 2016 (RPM Act). As your representative, I give full consideration to the concerns of the Oklahomans I am honored to serve in Congress.

As you may know, in 1990 when Congress took action to regulate “nonroad vehicles”, it explicitly excluded any vehicle used solely for competition. On March 7, 2016, U.S. Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC) introduced the RPM Act to the House floor. This bill excludes vehicles used for competitive events from certain provisions in the Clean Air Act. With the RPM Act, motor vehicles used for competition would not be encompassed in the definition of “motor vehicle”. On March 7, 2016, the RPM Act was referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Despite the clear intent of Congress, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has cited the Clean Air Act as authority for regulating vehicles used solely for competition. The EPA has exceeded its statutory authority in its recent actions to regulate vehicles used solely for competition. I have joined as a cosponsor to the RPM Act, and I will be sure to keep your thoughts in mind should this or any other related legislation be considered on the House floor.

I encourage you to sign up for my weekly emails at mullin.house.gov to receive updates on federal issues that impact Oklahomans.

Again, thank you for taking the time to write. It’s an incredible honor and privilege to serve the communities and families I grew up and worked with my entire life. God bless!

Sincerely,

Markwayne Mullin
Member of Congress

Here's a link to the SEMA website -

You can use this to contact your legislators and ask them to support the RPM Act.
