May 10, 2017 by trpadmin

Nonprofit Energy Efficiency Act:  The bipartisan nonprofit energy efficiency Act has been introduced in the House and the Senate.  The new bill numbers are S. 981 in the Senate, and H.R. 2197 in the House.

House Climate Solutions Caucus:  First major piece of legislation introduced from the House Climate Solutions caucus, the Climate Solutions Commission Act. Total of 12 co-sponsors, evenly split between parties. Read more here.

Cafe Standards:  A bad bill reducing the current fuel efficiency standard is expected in senate in the next two weeks.

Regulatory Accountability Act (S.951):  Introduced by Senator Portman (R-OH). The “Regulatory Accountability Act” would make it difficult if not impossible for new rules to take effect. The bill would give those who oppose new rules tools to block them at agencies and in the courts. The result would be to shut down efforts to adopt important new health and safety standards.
