Bill overview
The Regional Greenhouse Gas Reduction Act of 2019 aims to bolster efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across the United States. It establishes an Office within the Environmental Protection Agency to support and expand existing regional greenhouse gas reduction programs, like those in the Northeast and California. The bill also creates a grant program to help states, local governments, and regional groups take initial steps toward developing their own programs and establishes an interagency task force to analyze data and provide support. This legislation seeks to promote a coordinated, market-based approach to reducing carbon emissions.
