Bill > HB208

This bill establishes greenhouse gas emission reduction goals for the state of New Hampshire, requiring a 20% reduction below 1990 levels by 2025, a 50% reduction by 2035, and net zero emissions by 2050. The bill authorizes the Department of Environmental Services to inventory greenhouse gas emissions annually and develop a 5-year climate action plan to achieve these goals. The plan must consider various strategies, programs, and compliance mechanisms, as well as opportunities to encourage investment in underserved communities and provide retraining and apprenticeship opportunities. The Department must also coordinate with other state agencies and report on the plan's progress, barriers, and emerging opportunities. The bill also updates the state's energy policy to align with the greenhouse gas emission reduction goals.
