Subcommittee hearing.
Witnesses:
- Kory Willis, Owner & Founder, PPEI Custom Tuning
- Justin Savage, Partner, Sidley Austin LLP
- Eric Schaeffer (Minority Witness), Former Executive Director (Retired 2025), Environmental Integrity Project
Willis’s company sells defeat devices. His business was hit by Hurricane Laura and then by Hurricane Delta in 2020.
Savage testimony:
It is not disputed that defeat devices are generally prohibited by the CAA. What is disputed, however, is whether EPA and the Justice Department can prosecute the sale, distribution, or installation of such products criminally.
