§ 10.1-1184.1. Participation in regional transportation sector emissions programs prohibited.

A. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, neither the Governor nor any state agency, including the State Air Pollution Control Board, the Department, or any commission or political subdivision of the Commonwealth, shall adopt any regulation, rule, or guidance document that establishes a regional transportation sector emissions program or brings about the participation by the Commonwealth in any such regional program, whether such program is established through the Transportation and Climate Initiative, a regional collaboration of 12 Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states and the District of Columbia or any other similar group or successor thereto.
