S 997 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Livestock Regulatory Protection Act of 2023

This bill blocks new permits for carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, water vapor, and methane emissions from livestock farming. It amends the Clean Air Act to prohibit permits specifically for emissions resulting from natural biological processes in animal production. Livestock operations and producers would be directly affected, as they can no longer seek permits for these emissions under current programs. The change prevents these emissions from being regulated through standard Clean Air Act permitting processes.
