AI Summary
This bill authorizes the City of Salem to adopt and enforce local regulations restricting new fossil fuel infrastructure in certain construction projects. Specifically, the bill allows the city to require new building construction or major renovation projects to be "fossil fuel-free," meaning the buildings do not use coal, oil, natural gas, or other fossil fuels in their operation after construction. The city can also enforce restrictions and prohibitions on new construction and renovation projects that are not fossil fuel-free, including through the withholding or conditioning of building permits. The bill references a previous state law, the "Act Driving Clean Energy And Offshore Wind," and takes effect upon passage.
