Could California become the first US state to regulate airline emissions?

SACRAMENTO — California is split over a proposal to become the first U.S. state to regulate airline emissions.

The state has already led the country in regulating emissions of car pollution. 

State Senator Henry Stern sits on the California Air Resources Board (CARB). CARB determines what to include in the state's newest low-carbon fuel standards and newest protections against pollution.

The board recently agreed to allow jet fuel to remain exempt from regulation, but Stern expects the negotiations to continue.

"It's unclear if they're going to follow through on it or not," Stern said.
