Bill > S2224

This bill requires the executive climate change coordinating council, an existing body responsible for coordinating state efforts to address climate change, to evaluate and make recommendations on using "carbon emissions removal technology." This technology refers to methods that actively take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, as opposed to simply reducing the amount of new emissions being released. The bill proposes adding this as a new duty to the council's existing responsibilities, which include developing plans to meet specific greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets, such as achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, and preparing communities for the impacts of climate change. The bill also states that it will become law immediately upon being passed.
