AI Summary

This bill requires the Wisconsin state legislature to develop and pass comprehensive carbon emissions reduction legislation during the 2025-26 legislative session. Specifically, the bill mandates creating two key plans: one to reduce carbon emissions by 52 percent by 2030, and another to achieve carbon neutral emissions (meaning net zero carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere) by 2050. An important additional requirement is that these plans must be designed to maximize improvements in economic and racial equity, ensuring that the climate strategy not only addresses environmental concerns but also considers social and economic impacts. By setting these specific targets and timeframes, the bill aims to provide a clear roadmap for Wisconsin's transition to a lower-carbon future, with an emphasis on creating a strategy that benefits all communities equitably.
