House lawmakers voted to reverse an Environmental Protection Agency set of standards to reduce hazardous emissions from the rubber tire manufacturing process.
On Wednesday, House lawmakers voted 216 to 202 to pass Rep. Morgan Griffith’s (R-VA) bill to undo the EPA’s rule relating to “National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Rubber Tire Manufacturing.” Republicans argued that the rule increases compliance costs for the industry and results in higher prices for consumers.
