AI Summary

This bill establishes the Building Justice with Jobs Task Force to develop a plan to reduce statewide housing-related emissions by 50% by 2030 and eliminate them entirely by 2040. The plan must ensure at least 1 million homes receive state-funded emissions renovations over the next 10 years, prioritizing low-income households and environmental justice communities. The bill sets labor standards for renovation workers, including requiring prevailing wages, benefits, and diversity goals. It also authorizes funding mechanisms, such as a "Green Bank," to finance the plan's implementation.
