Bill information
Summary
To amend the Clean Air Act to eliminate the exemption for aggregation of emissions from oil and gas sources, and for other purposes.
Plain-language summary
The CLOSE Act amends the Clean Air Act, a federal law that regulates air pollution. It eliminates a rule allowing oil and gas companies to combine emissions from multiple small sources into one calculation, which can avoid stricter pollution limits. This loophole lets companies escape regulations that apply to larger single sources. The bill is currently in the introductory stage and has not yet been assigned to a for review.
