Senate adopts bill limiting emissions suits and authorizing court 'declarations' on emissions, critics call it a legal 'farce' The Senate passed House Bill 20‑70, a measure creating a court process for companies to seek declarations about their emissions and limiting state and private lawsuits over fossil fuel carbon emissions except where federal law (e.g., Clean Air Act) is violated.

Tennessee's Senate just passed a controversial bill that could limit lawsuits over carbon emissions, igniting a fierce debate about public health and environmental accountability.
