Bill > H0518

Introduced Session

This bill proposes to repeal the State Climate Superfund Cost Recovery Program (Program). The Agency of Natural Resources would not be required to establish and implement the Program. Similarly, the bill would repeal the requirement that the State Treasurer conduct an assessment of the cost to the State of Vermont and its residents of the emission of covered greenhouse gasses during the specified covered period. In addition, any State position authorized for the Program or for the State Treasurer’s completion of the assessment would be terminated, and any funds appropriated to the Agency of Natural Resources or the State Treasurer for implementation or administration of the Program would be returned to the General Fund or any other fund from which monies were appropriated.
