The version the House passed would repeal the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, a Clean Air Act program that funds and advises states and other qualifying groups working to cut greenhouse gas emissions in communities.2,3 It would also end an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) program that gives oil and natural gas operations incentives to reduce methane and other greenhouse gas emissions, and repeal a charge on methane emissions from certain facilities that must report their greenhouse gas emissions to the EPA.2,3 The House replaced the bill's text with a substitute before passing it; as introduced, the bill would have repealed only the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund.2,3
