Bill Summary
BREATHE Act
AI Summary
This bill, known as the Bringing Reductions to Energys Airborne Toxic Health Effects Act or BREATHE Act, aims to amend the Clean Air Act, a major piece of legislation that regulates air pollution. Specifically, it seeks to eliminate an exemption that currently allows for the aggregation of emissions from oil and gas sources to be treated differently under the law. The bill also mandates that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) designate hydrogen sulfide as a hazardous air pollutant within 180 days of enactment and, within a year of that designation, revise regulations to include categories of sources, such as oil and gas wells, that emit hydrogen sulfide.
