I am very excited to announce that my landmark Act on Climate has been signed into law. The Act on Climate strengthens the state’s climate-emission reduction and instructs the state to develop a plan to reduce climate emissions to net-zero by 2050. The law sets mandates, not goals, and makes the mandates enforceable in Rhode Island Superior Court.
Thank you to my Senate colleague, Newporter Dawn Euer, who I worked closely with on passing this bill.
As sponsor of the law in the House, I will be watching the initial implementation very closely and working with the RI Department of Environmental Management.
