Blocks California pollution rules for large ships docked in its ports

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved California's plan for cleaner engines on large ships docked in its ports. This bill would stop that EPA approval. If passed, ship operators in California would not have to meet those specific pollution standards.

What Would Change

Today, the Environmental Protection Agency has a rule in effect regarding California's pollution standards for large ships docked in port. If this bill becomes law, that EPA rule would be canceled and would have no legal effect. This means the specific pollution control standards for ocean-going vessels at-berth, which the EPA's rule affirmed, would not be in force.

Key Provisions

Blocks the Environmental Protection Agency's rule regarding California's pollution standards for large ships docked in port.
Ends the legal effect of the EPA's decision that allowed California to set specific pollution controls for ocean-going vessels at-berth.
