An act relating to repealing the Global Warming Solutions Act

This bill proposes to repeal Vermont's Global Warming Solutions Act and the Vermont Climate Council, shifting the state's climate policy from legally binding greenhouse gas reduction requirements to voluntary goals. The legislation would remove the Climate Council while keeping in place general directives for state agencies to consider emissions in their decision-making and requiring a comprehensive 20-year energy plan. Additionally, it repeals specific rules related to low and zero emission vehicles. The changes would take effect on July 1, 2023, and primarily affect state agencies, environmental regulations, and the structure of Vermont's climate governance.
