If this bill were to become law, it would introduce a new section to the current statutes, specifically designating it as a "Concurrent Memorial." This new section would urge the President and Congress of the United States to prevent the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from imposing penalties on Arizona for failing to meet ozone standards that are deemed unachievable. This insertion emphasizes the state's position regarding federal air quality regulations and the potential consequences of those regulations on Arizona.
The bill does not propose any deletions to existing statutes, meaning that the current legal framework regarding air quality standards and the responsibilities of the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality would remain intact. The focus of the bill is on expressing the state's concerns and urging federal action rather than altering existing laws or regulations.
