HS SCS SB 374 -- AIR EMISSIONS

This bill requires the Air Conservation Commission to establish
an air emissions banking and trading program.  The Department of
Natural Resources will certify and bank credits for reductions
in air emissions that exceed state and federal requirements.
Banked credits may be used, traded, or sold, as long as there
are no resulting adverse impacts on air quality.  In
nonattainment areas, the bank of credits will be reduced
annually by 3%, and net reductions below federally approved
permit conditions may be transferred to offset the construction
of new emissions sources.
