Banning state participation in Kyoto protocols and Paris Accord

HB 3018 prohibits West Virginia's environmental agency from creating new rules to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in key sectors (like utilities, industry, and transportation) to comply with the Kyoto Protocol or Paris Agreement. It also bans the state from making legally binding commitments to federal agencies regarding emissions cuts under these international agreements. The bill explicitly allows continued participation in voluntary programs, such as the EPA's "Green Lights" initiative. It directly affects West Virginia's regulatory approach to climate policy, preventing state action aligned with these global accords.
