To provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14, Sec. 70203

The section defines an applicable passenger vehicle as one whose original use begins with the taxpayer, made primarily for use on public streets, roads and highways and not run only on rails, with at least two wheels, that is a car, minivan, van, sport utility vehicle, pickup truck or motorcycle, treated as a motor vehicle under title II of the Clean Air Act, and with a gross vehicle weight rating under 14,000 pounds. It excludes any vehicle whose final assembly did not happen in the United States. Final assembly means the process by which a manufacturer produces a vehicle at or through a plant from which it goes to a dealer with all the parts needed to run it.

What the document actually says

“Such term shall not include any vehicle the final assembly of which did not occur within the United States.”

That sentence, in plain words

A car does not count if it was put together abroad. Only cars finished in the United States count.

What this is about

The car must also be new to the buyer. It must be built for public roads. It must weigh under 14,000 pounds.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
