 California is considering several bills to ramp up regulations on air pollution and climate emissions and to shift more of the implementation costs to regulated entities.

The air quality district overseeing Southern California’s ports has walked back a proposed cap on cargo but has abandoned its pursuit of an MOU in favor of a regulatory rule. But its authority is in doubt after California failed to secure two critical federal waivers.

A government agency has decided that the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, two of the largest gateways for U.S. container exports, need new limits on air pollution, and fears are mounting that a proposed rule now being drafted will end up restricting trade.
