Description

Air pollution emissions. Defers to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) the enforcement of any carbon dioxide standards or cap and trade provisions that are included in the federal Clean Air Act. The bill requires the Governor, in consultation with the Attorney General, to examine these provisions and determine whether Congress has the authority to enact mandates upon the states. The Governor is to report his findings to the General Assembly. The bill authorizes the Attorney General to bring an action against the USEPA if he finds that the mandated standards are based on a finding that is not scientifically demonstrated. View Full Text »
