Florida removes old federal clean air rules from its books

Florida is updating its state clean air plan. It is removing old rules related to a federal program that no longer exists. This means the state plan will only contain current, active regulations.

The US environmental regulators created the Clean Air Interstate Rule in 2005 to reduce air pollution across state lines. It was replaced by a new rule in 2011. Florida is now formally removing the old, obsolete rule from its state-level plan. This is a housekeeping change, not a new policy.
