Summary of Bill HR 1023

Bill 118 HR 1023, titled "To repeal section 134 of the Clean Air Act, relating to the greenhouse gas reduction fund," aims to eliminate a specific provision within the Clean Air Act that established a fund for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The bill seeks to remove Section 134 of the Clean Air Act, which allocated resources towards efforts to combat climate change by reducing the amount of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere.

If passed, this legislation would effectively dismantle the greenhouse gas reduction fund and potentially impact the funding and implementation of programs and initiatives aimed at addressing climate change. Supporters of the bill may argue that the fund is unnecessary or ineffective in achieving its intended goals, while opponents may view it as a crucial tool in combating the growing threat of climate change.

It is important to note that the repeal of this section of the Clean Air Act could have significant implications for environmental policy and the fight against climate change. As with any legislation, it is essential for lawmakers and the public to carefully consider the potential consequences and weigh the benefits and drawbacks of repealing this provision.
