AN ACT CONCERNING THE QUANTIFICATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS FROM NET-ZERO, DECARBONIZATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE MANDATES.

HB 6220 requires Connecticut's Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) to quantify and itemize the specific environmental benefits, scientific evidence supporting those benefits, and all direct and indirect costs (to businesses and taxpayers) of net-zero, decarbonization, and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) mandates. This bill directly affects DEEP by mandating new reporting requirements and impacts businesses and taxpayers through mandated cost analysis. Key provisions include requiring DEEP to document environmental outcomes, provide scientific backing, and detail financial implications before such mandates are implemented. The bill aims to provide transparency on the concrete environmental and economic effects of these policies.
