AI Summary

This bill aims to expand carbon pricing in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It requires the Secretary to adopt market-based compliance mechanisms for the transportation sector by January 1, 2023, commercial and industrial building heating and cooling by January 1, 2024, industrial processes by January 1, 2025, and residential heating and cooling by January 1, 2028. These mechanisms must be designed to maximize the Commonwealth's ability to achieve its greenhouse gas emissions limits, ensure equitable outcomes, prevent increases in toxic air pollutants, mitigate adverse impacts on at-risk sectors, and provide environmental and economic benefits. The bill also establishes three new trust funds (Green Commercial Building Fund, Green Industrial and Manufacturing Fund, and Green Residential Building Fund) to receive and allocate the proceeds from these market-based mechanisms to further the achievement of the emissions limits.
