Topic: House Bill 2025

Texas House Bill 2025 went into effect on September 1, 2025, outlawing the use of flammable gases as refrigerants in automobiles. While the EPA allows certain flammable second-generation drop-in replacements for HFC 134A, Texas state law has implemented a stricter ban. The legislation was reportedly influenced by media demonstrations showing the potential for these substances to cause cabin explosions if ignited.
