AI Summary
This bill aims to transition Massachusetts to 100% clean energy for electricity by 2035 and 100% clean energy for buildings and transportation by 2045. It establishes a Council for the Clean Energy Transition to oversee this transition, including an Office of Clean Energy Equity to ensure equitable deployment of clean energy technologies. The bill also creates a Just Transition Office to support workers displaced from the fossil fuel industry as the state moves to clean energy. Key provisions include increasing renewable energy portfolio standards, requiring new buildings to use only clean energy technologies, and mandating zero-emission vehicles for light-duty, medium-duty, and heavy-duty vehicle sales over time.
