The House and Senate versions are... it seems... identical and are both available to read about if you want.
HR520
S247

"Accelerated Retirement of Inefficient Vehicles Act of 2009"

Apparently the SAN(sema action network) issued a report saying the house bill is dead, but GPO Access says its in the energy committee along with the senate version.

Specifically, they're targeting vehicles with EPA fuel mileage ratings below 18MPG. From what I've heard about the Camaro and Challenger and the federally required MPG ratings that likely refers to the lowest mileage obtained by the vehicle... in our case city mileage. They'd offer $1500 for our junk if you buy a used car, and $2500 if you buy a new one.

Anyway if you're curious what the intent is, read the title of the bill. I quoted it above.
