Umm, not true.A good strategic move. Let's face it. If Dimocrats can figure out how to tax or fine a farmer over field dust they'll do it.
Yeah, great strategic move. Pass a bill to ban a regulation that DOES NOT exist
They want to AMEND a regulation that ALREADY EXISTS:
http://thomas.loc.gov/home/gpoxmlc112/h1633_rh.xml
So it's already regulated on a State level, this would prevent the Feds from stepping in.H. R. 1633
[Report No. 112316]
A BILL
To establish a temporary prohibition against revising any national ambient air quality standard applicable to coarse particulate matter, to limit Federal regulation of nuisance dust in areas in which such dust is regulated under State, tribal, or local law, and for other purposes.
And if you do a little research (which Liberals hardly ever do) you'd see that particulate matter is re-assesed every 5 years by the Fed so yes, this IS pre-emptive Legislation, but it's against laws that DO already exist and are on the books.
By the way, The Clean Air Act has been in existence for about 40 years and has been amended a few times before.
Clean Air Act | US EPA
Yeah I saw that in the article. Particulate matter is reassessed every 5 years. But there is no new EPA law to put more regulations on farm dust. The GOP thinks that there will be in the future. That's it. It's a bogus bill and a waste of time.
