Energy (Electric Vehicles)

This bill prohibits Louisiana state agencies from using state funds for any programs or activities supporting net-zero greenhouse gas emissions goals. It broadly defines such goals to include policies aligned with international climate agreements (like the Paris Agreement), renewable energy incentives, electric vehicle programs, and methane regulations outlined in Louisiana's 2022 Climate Action Plan. Exceptions allow funding for federal compliance, pre-existing contracts, pollution reduction initiatives, and emergency spending unrelated to net-zero targets. The restriction applies to state funds for fiscal years starting July 1, 2026, and expires January 1, 2031.
