HCM2010: air quality; ozone levels

Sponsor: Representative Carbone, LD 25

Caucus & COW

Overview

Expresses the Legislature's disagreement with the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) classification of Phoenix as a nonattainment area for ozone limits under the Clean Air Act.

History

The Clean Air Act was established to reduce air pollution, improve air quality, protect public health and reduce emissions. In 2015, the EPA increased the ground-level ozone standards to 70 parts per billion(ppb) (EPA). This ozone standard currently designates Yuma and Phoenix-Mesa areas as nonattainment (ADEQ).

Provisions

1.   Asserts the concern of members of the Legislature relating to the EPA's penalties against Arizona and asks the EPA to implement a state plan to achieve and maintain a relevant air standard. (Sec. 1)
