Eliminating preferential treatment related to a coal-fired electric generating plant.

Summary

The bill removes special greenhouse‑gas exemptions for coal‑fired electric generators and expands the definition of “covered entities” that must report and surrender emissions allowances. It applies to large emitters, electricity importers, fuel suppliers and certain waste‑to‑energy, railroad and municipal facilities, while keeping exemptions for aviation, watercraft, biomass, agriculture and national‑security uses. The changes also stop state agencies from adding extra GHG standards to pre‑2011 coal plants and repeal older coal‑exemption statutes.
