Harrison on clean cars
Rep. Pricey Harrison, a Greensboro Democrat, is pushing a study bill on clean cars legislation.
Study bills create legislative committees to ponder a topic. Generally, a bill drafted by a study committee has a little more oomph when it comes before the honorables. It also gives folks on all sides a chance to weigh in.
The clean cars bill would have North Carolina study the costs and benefits of adopting the clean emission standards used by California. Right now, 14 states already have adopted them. The idea would be to study the issue this summer and fall with the goal of introducing a full fledged clean car bill next year.
Here's video of Harrison explaining the measure.
Harrison and her co-sponsor, Rep. Grier Martin, say they expect a fair amount of resistance to the measure.
