AI Summary

This bill aims to ensure a healthy future for environmental justice communities. It proposes to amend the General Laws by adding a new subsection that excludes certain renewable energy generating sources from qualifying as "Class I" renewable sources if they are located within a certain distance of an environmental justice population and their operation results in the release of air pollutants. This is intended to address the potential negative impacts of renewable energy projects on nearby environmental justice communities.
