SB 303 Connecticut Senate · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT PROHIBITING THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION FROM DEVELOPING POLICY ON INITIATIVES RELATED TO CARBON TAXES.

SB 303 prohibits Connecticut's Department of Energy and Environmental Protection from developing any policy related to carbon taxes or gasoline taxes. The bill directly affects the department, blocking it from creating regulations or initiatives on these tax policies. It achieves this by amending state statutes to explicitly ban the department from engaging in such policy development. The bill does not create new tax policies but prevents the department from advancing them. (3 sentences)
