AI Summary
This bill repeals the 2021 Act on Climate in its entirety, which means it would eliminate all provisions of that previous law, including its established statewide greenhouse gas emission reduction mandate. The 2021 Act on Climate had set specific, legally binding targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, such as achieving a 45% reduction below 1990 levels by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2050, and established a climate coordinating council and advisory boards to oversee these efforts and ensure compliance. This bill would take effect immediately upon its passage.
