House Passes FENCES Act

This week's passage of my FENCES Act is a win for American businesses and workers who have been unfairly penalized for pollution beyond their control. This legislation reins in government overreach and clarifies the standards of the Clean Air Act.

By ensuring that foreign emissions and natural events, such as wildfires, are not counted against air monitoring data, the legislation brings long-overdue fairness and certainty to the permitting process. This means fewer delays, lower costs for consumers, and more confidence for businesses looking to invest and create jobs. The FENCES Act is a practical, commonsense fix that protects our economy and the integrity of our air quality standards.
