Bill Summary

AI Summary
This bill modifies Hawaii's climate change targets by extending the deadline for achieving a "Zero Emissions Clean Economy" to 2075, meaning the state aims to capture as much atmospheric carbon and greenhouse gases as it emits by that year, and establishes an interim goal of sequestering seventy percent of emissions by 2050. Additionally, it exempts the Department of Transportation and all transportation systems and services from these emissions targets, allowing them to continue operating without being held to the same zero-emissions standard as other sectors.
