| IN RE: | HB3188 by Larson (Relating to prohibiting the implementation in this state of any federal greenhouse gas emissions regulatory program.), As Introduced |
The bill would prohibit any agency of the State of Texas, including the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), from implementing or adopting rules to implement a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions regulatory program. The bill would also prohibit any state employee from participating on a board, committee, or related entity, or in a study, of a national organization assigned to recommend provisions to implement a federal greenhouse gas emissions regulatory program.
