Air Quality:
Motor Vehicle Emissions Study

Our Position: support
Bill Number: H2526
Sponsor: Rep. Pricey Harrison (D-Guilford)
Legislative Session: 2008

The North Carolina Clean Cars Program will require new cars and trucks to be more efficient and pollute less. The Clean Cars Program, which has already been adopted by 14 other states, will save consumers money at the gas pump and cut global warming pollution by an estimated 10 percent annually.  This bill will call for a study on the effects of the Clean Cars Program if implemented in North Carolina.  The study will take into account changes in carbon dioxide emissions due to the implementation of federal emissions standards (Tier II) and the federal fuel efficiency standards (CAFE). 

Status
