Rep. Jeffrey Stenquist (R)

HB 295 (Vehicle Emissions Reduction Program)

Libertas Institute opposes this bill.

This bill creates a "Cash for Clunkers" program in Utah, giving out taxpayer-funded checks of up to $5,500 to purchase a new vehicle.

Libertas opposes this bill. While cleaner air is an important goal, paying people with taxpayer money to get newer cars is an improper use of government spending.
