Bill overview
The FENCES Act amends the Clean Air Act to clarify how emissions from outside the United States are considered when determining air quality standards and applying penalties. Specifically, it aims to prevent states from being penalized for failing to meet air quality standards if those failures are due to emissions originating outside their borders. The bill also provides a mechanism for states to demonstrate that they would have met standards but for these external emissions, allowing them to avoid sanctions and fees.
