(The Center Square) – The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday passed resolutions to revoke climate change regulations in California.
U.S. Reps. Vince Fong, R-Calif., and James Gallagher, R-Calif., introduced resolutions to repeal California regulations against commercial harbor crafts and ocean-going vessels. The California rules made it so varying emissions regulations could apply depending on the make and model of ocean-going vessels.
