Media Advisory: David J. Hayes to Join California Attorney General Xavier Becerra and Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan on Press Call for Clean Car Standards

TODAY — State Energy & Environmental Impact Center Executive Director David J. Hayes will join a press call on Clean Car Standards hosted by California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, and also featuring Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan.

The call comes just days before the comment period closes for a joint proposal by the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Highway Traffic Safety to roll back Clean Car Standards (the so-called SAFE Vehicles Proposed Rule). The comment period closes on Friday, October 26th.

David J. Hayes will focus his remarks on the public health impacts of the Trump administration’s anti-environmental agenda, with a specific emphasis on how the attack on Clean Cars Standards and other environmental regulations negatively impacts vulnerable environmental justice communities.

AG Becerra will provide facts that have informed the California-led multistate coalition’s comment letter to the federal government (to be filed this week) and speak to the role the rule plays in moving the nation towards energy independence and environmental justice while tackling climate change.
