Position on Bill at 2018
Session of Oregon Legislature:
SB
1541: Oppose
Dear
Committee:
The
Oregon Progressive Party opposes this bill, which allegedly "Authorizes
Environmental Quality Commission to adopt program and rules to reduce
public health risks of emissions of toxic air contaminants from
industrial and commercial air contamination sources."
In fact, SB 1541 would tie funding for administration of the program to
provisions that subvert the 2-year public rule making process, strip
the agency of its full authority to regulate , and set in statute less
protective health standards for industry.
We recommend the attached Environmental Policy Backgrounder and
Platform produced by our rival party, the Independent Party of Oregon.
