SCS/HCS/HB 1631 - This act requires the Air Conservation Commission to develop carbon dioxide emission standards for existing generation plants. In developing such standards, the Commission shall consider the remaining useful life of the existing plant and the overall economic impact of implementing new emission standards. The Commission may develop emission standards less stringent, but not more stringent, than federal emission guidelines, or longer compliance schedules than those required by federal regulations based upon certain factors as set forth in this act. This act is identical to a provision contained in CCS/HCS/SCS/SB 664 (2014) and is similar to SB 965 (2014). KAYLA CRIDER
