The policy requires readers to certify eligibility, with switches costing about 150 to 200 dollars and some vehicles already offering retrofits.

Carey vows to fight disqualification in run‑off
Teamsters President Ron Carey pledged to appeal a federal adjudicator’s ruling disqualifying him from the March rerun election. Special judge Kenneth Conboy cited extensive rules violations and $735,000 in union funds used to aid Carey’s campaign, implicating other labor figures and a Clinton-Gore official. The ruling clears James Hoffa as the front-runner while probes by the Independent Review Board and a federal grand jury continue. Carey vows to contest the decision and seeks delay or scrutiny of the Hoffa campaign.
