A satate commission approved today will toughen emissions standards for new cars sold in Florida, according to the Asssociated Press.
The Environmental Regulation Commission voted 6-1 on Tuesday to adopt California's emissions rules as a way of lowering greenhouse gases, which some blame for global warming.
The rules calling for more fuel efficient vehicles must now be approved by the Legislature. It is a priority for Gov. Charlie Crist.
Auto manufacturers and dealers oppose the standards, saying they will drive up vehicle costs and make some light trucks unavailable in Florida.
