SJR91 Summary

• Urges Alabama's U.S. Congressional delegation to adopt legislation prohibiting the EPA from regulating greenhouse gas emissions by any means necessary, including defunding EPA greenhouse gas regulatory activities.

• Calls for a moratorium on new EPA air quality regulations for at least two years, except for regulations addressing imminent health or environmental emergencies, with authority to defund EPA air quality activities.

• Requests a multi-agency study identifying all EPA regulatory activity related to climate change and air quality, with an objective cost-benefit analysis of the cumulative economic effects on jobs and American competitiveness.

• Expresses concern that EPA regulations referred to as the "train wreck" have overlapping requirements with potentially devastating economic consequences and that cap-and-trade legislation failed in Congress.

• States the Legislature supports air quality improvements but believes they should be pursued without damaging the economy and with full understanding of regulatory costs.
