This bill prohibits a state agency from adopting or enforcing rules or regulations to implement a regional program addressing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions or motor vehicle fuel economy that is not expressly authorized by federal law, or that is more stringent than federal laws or regulations and requires the Director of the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) to provide a written statement on any such program.
This bill will come before the House of Representatives early next week since we will not be meeting tomorrow. I fully support this bill, believing that the Governor, by her recent actions, is muddying the waters, overstepping her authority and side-stepping the proper legislative process.
UPDATE: The Governor vetoed this legislation but we may have her stopped yet...more on this to come as we await the outcome of a federal ruling
