AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law to set stronger greenhouse gas emissions limits for Massachusetts. Specifically, it requires the interim 2030 statewide greenhouse gas emissions limit to be at least 50% below the 1990 level, and the interim 2040 statewide greenhouse gas emissions limit to be at least 75% below the 1990 level. Additionally, the bill requires a 2045 statewide greenhouse gas emissions limit that achieves at least net zero statewide greenhouse gas emissions. These changes are intended to help the state meet its climate goals and reduce the impact of greenhouse gas emissions.
