Bill Summary
Relative to a just transition to clean energy
AI Summary
This bill aims to establish a Just Transition Commission to ensure that workers in the energy sector who are displaced due to efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions or transition from fossil fuels to clean energy have immediate access to employment and training opportunities in clean energy industries and related fields. The bill also requires the Massachusetts Clean Energy Technology Center to develop and implement 5-year workforce development plans for the Commonwealth, with a focus on outreach and recruitment into the clean energy industry for workers in fossil fuel-intensive industries, as well as environmental justice populations and individuals living in municipalities at high risk for climate change. Additionally, the bill amends the composition of the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center's Board of Directors to include representatives from the Massachusetts AFL-CIO and the Massachusetts Building Trades Council.
