Carbon emissions legislation has re-emerged in the Illinois General Assembly.
Kevin Johnson, president of the Illinois Fertilizer and Chemical Association, says the two bills targeting trucking emissions build off a proposal that failed to advance earlier this session.
“House bill 1634. That pretty much took all semis to go to California emission standards, or what they call CARB.” He says, “That pretty much means if you got a 2011 truck or later, there would be a phase out of those trucks.”
He tells Brownfield the impacts to farmers would be substantial.
