Kansas Attorney General Opposes Effort to Implement Green New Deal Through Bureaucracy

 

The Kansas Attorney General is pushing back against the Biden administration's latest effort to impose the so-called Green New Deal on states through new regulations. 

 

AG Derek Schmidt has joined other state attorneys general in filing comment letters regarding a proposed rule from the Federal Highway Administration that would require all 50 states to reduce on-road CO2 emissions to net zero by 2050.  Schmidt says these efforts reflect the current attitude in Washington.

 

Schmidt says the group's main complaint is the way the administration is trying to make changes without proper legislation. Schmidt and the other attorneys general claim that the proposed measure violates the principles of federalism by requiring states to implement a federal regulatory program.
