WASHINGTON, D.C. (June 12, 2025)
The Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) is expressing its profound thanks to President Donald Trump, who today signed a Congressional Review Act resolution that will protect more than 330,000 American jobs and preserve $100 billion in annual economic impact for the nation’s economy by revoking a waiver that would have enabled California to ban internal combustion engine vehicles.
President Trump, who invited SEMA to join him at the White House for the signing ceremony, now has delivered on a key campaign promise in which he pledged to preserve vehicle choice for millions of Americans to decide which car or truck is right for them. In doing so, President Trump has provided a significant firewall for the nation’s automotive aftermarket, a third of whom manufacture and sell products solely for internal combustion engine vehicles.
“President Trump meant what his said when he declared his intent to stop radical policymakers from depriving the American people of vehicle choice. He’s proven to be a man of his word and a true champion of American innovation and ingenuity, particularly of that borne out of the automotive aftermarket industry,” said SEMA President and CEO Mike Spagnola, who was present for the signing ceremony. “This is a clear example of American government at its finest, where a bipartisan set of lawmakers set aside their differences for the sake of the American people – in this case, to strike down a bad, ill-conceived policy from California that would’ve shattered the nation’s economy and destabilized the automotive marketplace.”
SEMA’S STANCE
SEMA is not, and never will be, anti-EV; rather, it champions a technology-neutral approach that fosters innovation and ingenuity. The association will continue efforts to preserve Americans’ rights to vehicle choice and the automotive aftermarket industry’s ability to design, manufacture, and bring to market products that help solve the emissions challenge.
