Plain-English Summary

The proposal would allow individual states to set their own air pollution standards and emissions limits rather than following a single national standard, giving state governments more control over environmental regulations within their borders. This would affect businesses that produce emissions, power plants, manufacturers, and states themselves as they decide how strictly to regulate pollution. States could choose to adopt stricter environmental protections than federal requirements or maintain looser standards depending on their priorities.
