An act relating to repealing the Global Warming Solutions Act

The bill, VT H0062, aims to repeal the Global Warming Solutions Act, which was designed to address climate change in Vermont. By eliminating this act, the bill seeks to remove the framework that guides the state's efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainability. This legislation has been introduced by Representative Mark Higley.

Supporters of the bill argue that repealing the Global Warming Solutions Act will relieve businesses and residents from burdensome regulations that they believe hinder economic growth. They may frame this as a move towards prioritizing job creation and energy independence without government interference.

Critics of the bill contend that repealing the Global Warming Solutions Act undermines Vermont's commitment to combating climate change and protecting the environment. They argue that this action could lead to increased greenhouse gas emissions and harmful environmental impacts, jeopardizing future generations' health and wellbeing.
