Key Vote: To ban EPA regulation of greenhouse gas emissions

To ban EPA regulation of greenhouse gas emissions
- Vote Rejected (50-50)

During work on the small business bill, the Senate fell short of the 60 votes required to pass this amendment that would prevent the Environmental Protection Agency from regulating greenhouse gases for the purpose of addressing climate change. The House passed a stand-alone bill later in the week, but its future is unclear at this time.

Sen. Bill Nelson voted NO
Sen. Marco Rubio voted YES
