The National Federation of Independent Business is speaking out as the Illinois Pollution Control Board considers adopting some of California’s vehicle emissions standards.
Environmental groups have proposed phasing out the sale of new gasoline and diesel-powered vehicles, leading to a complete ban on the sale of most new non-electric vehicles in 2035.
NFIB Illinois State Director Noah Finley says raising the cost of transportation would impact just about every small business.
Finley says the requirements would put Main Street businesses in Illinois at a disadvantage compared to those in neighboring states.
The Illinois Pollution Control Board held a hearing on the proposal Tuesday.
