Former Baker Botts and V&E Lawyer--and Adjunct Professor of Law--Re-writes Clean Air Act

HOUSTON - Jan. 19, 2018 - PRLog -- Jed Anderson, an environmental attorney with the AL Law Group and former attorney with Baker Botts and Vinson & Elkins, and an Adjunct Professor of Law at the University of Houston Law School where he taught the Clean Air Act, has re-written the Clean Air Act.

  ---"Everyone told me it was impossible . . . so I did it myself."—-Jed Anderson

The primary goals of the draft "Clean Air Act of 2018" are to:


• Focus on eliminating pollution rather than finding a "safe" level of pollution
• Simplify and remove the need for approximately 75% of the current Clean Air Act
• Create a comprehensive multi-pollutant approach to addressing air quality and climate change concerns
• Realign responsibility and authority under the Act to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of International, Federal, State, and Local control efforts; and
• Modernize and simplify the Act to make it more transparent and easier to implement and enforce.
