Bills Introduced in House and Senate to Delay Implementation of 2015 Ozone Standards

Two bills were introduced in the Senate (S.263) and House  (H.R.806) to delay implementation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s 2015 Ozone Standards. A full text of the Senate version is available here (both versions will likely be posted to Congress.gov in the next few days). While the standards that would be affected by this proposed legislation do not directly regulate greenhouse gas emissions, they do have significant greenhouse gas emission reduction co-benefits.
