For legislation relative to a just transition to clean energy. Labor and Workforce Development.

AI Summary

This bill aims to establish a "Just Transition Office" within the Department of Career Services to ensure that energy sector workers displaced due to efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions or transition to clean energy have access to employment and training opportunities in clean energy industries and related fields. The bill creates a Just Transition Advisory Committee to develop a "Just Transition Plan" that would provide climate adjustment assistance, education and training programs, and workforce development initiatives to support dislocated energy sector workers. Additionally, the bill requires energy sector employers planning significant workforce reductions or facility closures to submit a detailed workforce reduction plan to the Just Transition Office.
