Rep. Frank Pratt, chairman of the Arizona House Energy, Environment and Natural Resources Committee, said a lack of confidence in the former director of the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality was at the heart of legislation preventing the agency from regulating greenhouse gas emissions without express legislative authorization.
Pratt, R-Casa Grande, said he has confidence in the current director, Henry Darwin, and could envision a repeal of HB2442 to give the agency the ability to respond to the proposed U. S. Environmental Protection Agency rules.
