SEMA Statement on Emissions Restrictions

WASHINGTON, DC (03.26.25) – With the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the headlines of late, SEMA has noticed an uptick in misinformation regarding the Trump Administration’s actions on EV mandates and some members of the industry suggesting that the EV mandate rollbacks mean that defeat devices used to skirt emissions laws are allowed and/or will not be enforced against by the EPA. This is not true; defeat devices are illegal.

To ensure SEMA members and the aftermarket industry know what is true, SEMA created a Fact Sheet that sets the record straight on these and other issues. We encourage you to review the document and share with your audiences to help clear up any misunderstandings.
