The Oregon Environmental Quality Commission voted to adopt California's Advanced Clean Car II rules banning the sale of gas-powered passenger vehicles by 2035.

Oregon’s adoption of California’s ACC II rules could cost automakers up to $3 billion but yield $5.8 billion in economic benefits for the Beaver State by 2040.

Oregon’s Environmental Quality Commission voted 3-1 to approve rules setting declining caps on GHGs from fuel suppliers, cutting their emissions 90% by 2050.

Oregon’s EQC approved the most stringent landfill emissions standards in the U.S., part of an effort to reduce the release of heat-trapping methane.

Some Oregon residents and environmental advocates criticized the DEQ's proposal to reduce GHGs as not ambitious enough, while industry said they go too far.
