The section of this act that is purposed for to be removed is below, as well a link to the full text. This text should remain in the act, because it keeps government agencies from buying false-alternative fuels.
The purpose of the act is meant to improve environmental stewardship. Theoretically, this proposed repeal would make it possible to burn old tires for heat and call it an "alternative fuel".
This is a clear attempt to remove the meat from standing environmental law. Oppose it.
