Plain-English Summary

This bill would create a new tax or fee on companies that emit greenhouse gases or produce fossil fuels, with the money collected going into a fund to support climate-related projects and initiatives. The revenue would likely be used for things like renewable energy development, infrastructure upgrades, or climate adaptation efforts, shifting some of the financial burden of addressing climate change onto the industries that produce the most pollution. The proposal affects oil, gas, coal, and other energy companies, as well as potentially large manufacturers and industrial polluters.
