AI Summary
This bill seeks to combat climate change by establishing a market-based compliance mechanism to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation, commercial/industrial/institutional, and residential building sectors. The bill defines "greenhouse gas-emitting priority" and updates the definition of "market-based compliance mechanism" to include various pricing and trading systems. It also establishes the Carbon Pricing Trust Fund, which will allocate proceeds from the market-based mechanism to support public transportation, school aid, environmental justice initiatives, and electric vehicle incentives. The bill includes provisions to mitigate financial burdens on low-income and rural residents, as well as economic subsectors, and sets deadlines for the regulations to be implemented.
