What it does

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Current federal law provides that, to the extent practicable, certain ozone-depleting substances must be replaced by chemicals, product substitutes, or alternative manufacturing processes that reduce risks to human health and the environment. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is required to promulgate administrative rules identifying acceptable alternatives to these ozone-depleting substances.

This bill provides that no state agency and no local governmental unit may prohibit or limit the use of a refrigerant that the EPA has designated as acceptable for use.
