AI Summary
This bill establishes a Climate & Community Resilience Fund to support climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts, with a focus on supporting low-income communities, communities of color, and other marginalized populations that have faced disproportionate environmental burdens. The fund will be administered by an independent 11-member board, with two-thirds of the members representing community-based organizations. The fund can be used to support a range of initiatives, including equitable clean energy and resilience projects, workforce development, and community-led planning and implementation efforts. The bill also creates a property insurance fee to provide a dedicated funding source for the fund, with provisions to make the fee affordable and minimize administrative costs. The bill requires annual reporting on the fund's activities and progress in meeting its goals.
