The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 56, seeks to amend the general statutes of Connecticut to require the state to adhere to federal vehicle emission standards instead of the current California standards. This change is aimed at discontinuing the state's reliance on California's more stringent vehicle emission regulations.
The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but introduces the requirement for Connecticut to follow federal standards, thereby aligning state regulations with federal guidelines. The intent behind this legislation is to simplify compliance for vehicle manufacturers and potentially reduce regulatory burdens associated with adhering to California's standards.
