Massachusetts S1443 aims to protect air quality by preventing approval of air quality plans or operating permits for carbon-emitting energy.

Massachusetts S1443 seeks to safeguard air quality by prohibiting the approval of air quality plans or operating permits for facilities generating or transporting carbon-emitting energy sources in areas where air pollutants exceed the ambient air toxics guidelines. The bill mandates that the Department of Environmental Protection must find that operation of the facility is impossible at generators unless the applicant demonstrates otherwise. This measure aims to balance the need for energy with environmental protection.
