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 completely eliminate them by 2040. The plan must include housing emissions audits, preexisting environmental hazard remediation projects, and housing emissions renovations for at least 1 million homes in Massachusetts. The bill prioritizes homes in low-income and environmental justice areas, and provides subsidies and financing to cover the costs for lower-income households. It also requires project labor agreements with worker protections for these renovations. The bill authorizes the Massachusetts Clean Energy Technology Center to establish funding programs, and requires government buildings to comply with an energy-efficient building code.
