Bill > HB06279

This bill proposes to repeal a specific greenhouse gas emission reduction goal previously established in Connecticut state law. Specifically, the legislation would eliminate the existing mandate that required the state to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from electricity generation to zero percent by January 1, 2040. By removing this goal, the bill effectively rescinds a previous commitment to completely decarbonize the state's electricity supply by that target date. The proposed change means that Connecticut would no longer have a legally mandated target for eliminating greenhouse gas emissions from its electrical grid, potentially reducing the state's regulatory pressure to transition to clean energy sources. The bill is concise, focusing solely on removing this specific emissions reduction objective from the state's existing statutes.
