emissions; reduction credits; counties

Summary

The bill moves permit authority for large sources such as smelters, refineries, coal plants, cement plants and certain mobile sources to the state environmental department, while counties can still issue permits for emission‑reduction credits for portable and on‑road sources. It also requires regional planning agencies to adopt transportation measures that improve air quality and creates uniform procedures, public‑notice rules and fee structures for all permits. The goal is to tighten air‑quality management and make permitting more consistent across the state.
