H.R. 10467 aims to amend the Clean Air Act by requiring the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to impose a charge on the total annual electricity consumption of certain facilities. This charge would be collected from the owners or operators of those facilities, potentially as a means to reduce electricity consumption and promote cleaner energy practices.
H.R. 10467 was introduced in the 119th Congress by Paul Tonko (Democrat) and is currently listed as “Introduced”. It is classified under the Environmental Protection policy area, one of 116 bills in that area we track this Congress.

Environmental advocates have praised the bill for holding polluters accountable and providing a financial incentive to decrease reliance on fossil fuels.
Critics of H.R. 10467 contend that imposing a charge on electricity consumption could lead to increased operational costs for businesses, potentially resulting in higher prices for consumers. Some opponents argue that the bill could disproportionately affect small businesses and industries that are already struggling, raising concerns about its economic impact.
The analysis of H.R. 10467, which aims to amend the Clean Air Act by imposing a charge on electricity consumption from certain facilities, reveals no direct industry overlaps with the top donor industries of sponsor Paul Tonko. This indicates a low risk of conflicts of interest, as the financial support he receives does not appear to be influenced by the subject matter of the bill. Given that there are no significant financial ties that could sway the legislative intent, voters can feel reassured that the bill is likely being pursued in the interest of environmental regulation rather than donor influence. The absence of overlapping industries suggests that Tonko's legislative priorities may align more closely with public interest than with specific donor agendas.
