The Senate passed the Levin-Bond Amendment (s.2997) to
the Senate energy bill (S. 517). The amendment, offered by Senators
Carl Levin (D-MI), and Christopher Bond (R-MO), removes the language
in the energy bill that would have raised miles per gallon standards
to 35 miles per gallon by 2013.
Instead, Levin-Bond gives the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) two years to study the need for higher fuel
economy standards, but does not specify a miles-per-gallon increase
or a timeline for fuel economy increases to take place, and removes
key safety provisions from the bill.
The Levin-Bond amendment passed 62-38. NO was the
pro-environment vote.
