Update on the End of the Legislative Session
By Kathryn Phillips The 2018 regular legislative session has finally ended, and per usual, the outcome had some highlights and some disappointments. We began the year with a list of more than 450 bills we were monitoring or had taken positions on. By the end of the year, about 65 bills that we really cared about had made it through the process and were either headed to the governor’s desk or had been signed. This is far fewer environmental bills than we have seen move through the legislature in recent years. |

| Trump’s Attack on Clean Car Standards By Katherine Garcia Sometimes the use of government acronyms are clever or humorous. Not this time. The current administration has proposed a transportation rule, the Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient Vehicles Rule for Model Years 2021-2026 Passenger Cars and Light Trucks also known as the “SAFE Vehicles Rule.” This acronym is absurd. |
