AL HB329

Adopts the Interstate Power Compact to protect state sovereignty and local government authority over air pollution control under the Tenth Amendment.

Pledges that no state agency, political subdivision, or official will submit filings to comply with EPA's Section 111(d) rule unless emission limits are based only on technically achievable measures using existing fuel and boiler designs, and until the Supreme Court validates the rule or refuses certiorari.

Becomes effective when adopted by two or more member states and Congress consents to the compact; compact may be amended by unanimous member state agreement with congressional approval assumed unless Congress disapproves within one year.

Member states may withdraw with 30 days' notice to other state governors, but remain liable for prior obligations; compact dissolves when only one member state remains.

Effective immediately upon passage and gubernatorial approval.
