Summary
The bill changes the Clean Air Act to say that foreign emissions—whether or not they are from human activity—cannot be used to label an area as non‑attainment. It also exempts states with severe ozone or particulate‑matter problems from sanctions and fees if they can prove those problems are due to foreign emissions, exceptional events, or mobile‑source emissions beyond the state’s control, with a required renewal of the proof every five years.
