H 671 Vermont House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An act relating to repealing the Affordable Heat Act and Global Warming Solutions Act

This bill seeks to repeal two Vermont climate laws: the Affordable Heat Act and the Global Warming Solutions Act. It directly affects state agencies, utility regulators, and businesses subject to these regulations by removing requirements related to clean heat standards, greenhouse gas inventories, and climate action planning. The legislation would eliminate the Clean Heat Standard, repeal the Vermont Climate Council, and modify state energy policy sections to remove references to specific emissions reduction goals tied to those repealed acts. While some sections retain general greenhouse gas reporting requirements, the bill removes mandates for implementing specific climate mitigation strategies and the associated regulatory frameworks.
