Bill > H4571

This bill establishes the Building Justice with Jobs Task Force to develop a plan to reduce housing-related greenhouse gas emissions in Massachusetts by 50% by 2030 and eliminate them entirely by 2040. The plan must prioritize retrofitting homes in low-income and environmental justice areas, and ensure that at least 1 million homes receive energy efficiency renovations over the next 10 years. The bill provides subsidies and financial assistance for these renovations, with the government covering the full cost for low-income households and environmental justice populations. It also sets labor standards, including requiring project labor agreements, for the workers performing the renovations. The bill also directs the state to seek out federal funding and establish financing mechanisms to fund the plan.
