The legislative bill SF No. 493 proposes that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency should not be allowed to ban the purchase or use of vehicles that run on internal combustion engines. This move ensures that individuals and local governments in Minnesota can continue using traditional gasoline and diesel-powered vehicles without restrictions imposed due to environmental concerns. The bill also sets guidelines for maintaining and adopting standards related to air, noise, solid waste, and hazardous waste management. It emphasizes that these standards should be scientifically based, technically justified, and should consider local conditions like population density and geography. Moreover, it restricts local government units from implementing air or hazardous waste control standards that are stricter than those set by the state agency.
