Prohibition on State Emission Standards for Locomotives
This bill aims to standardize emission regulations for locomotives across the United States. It means individual states will be prohibited from setting their own, stricter emission standards for existing locomotives. This could impact air quality in some regions but also simplify operations for transportation companies, as they won't need to comply with varying regulations in each state.
Key points
States will be prohibited from setting their own emission standards for locomotives.
All locomotives used in commercial transport will be subject to uniform federal regulations.
