SB 784 by Birdwell: Local Government Preemption of Burdensome Regulation

SB 784 seeks to amend current law giving exclusive jurisdiction to the state to regulate greenhouse gas emissions, preempting the regulation of such by local governmental jurisdictions. This protects local businesses from local governments seeking to push radical environmental agendas that hurt the free market and businesses across the state. For these reasons, TFR supports SB 784.
