AI Summary

This bill aims to establish a goal for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to meet 100% of its energy needs with renewable energy by 2035, including electricity, heating, cooling, transportation, and other uses. To achieve this, the bill proposes the creation of an administrative council for the clean energy transition, which will involve representatives from various state agencies and departments. The council will be tasked with identifying and evaluating existing laws, regulations, and programs that could impact the state's transition to 100% renewable energy, and recommending modifications to accelerate this transition. The bill also requires each executive department and quasi-public agency to review their own laws, regulations, and programs and submit plans to achieve 100% renewable energy for their operations by January 1, 2035.
