Harrisburgh, P.A. - The Pennsylvania Senate approved House Bill 2025 today, which would remove the Department of Environmental Protection’s (DEP) legal authority to regulate climate-disrupting carbon dioxide pollution from any source within the Commonwealth. This bill, which passed in the House in July, would prevent Pennsylvania’s participation in the "cap-and-invest" program known as the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) which is currently being developed. The legislation goes even further to prevent DEP from implementing any regulations of greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). Governor Wolf is expected to veto the legislation.
