S 2121 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act investing in a prosperous clean commonwealth by 2030

This bill aims to guide Massachusetts toward achieving 100% renewable electricity and net-zero carbon emissions across all sectors by 2030. It directly affects energy facilities, businesses, and workers by establishing new legal definitions for emissions and updating reporting requirements for large industrial sources. The legislation also prioritizes environmental justice for marginalized communities and mandates the creation of unionized green jobs with fair wages for workers transitioning to a clean energy economy. By amending existing state laws, the bill creates a formal registry to track greenhouse gas data and ensures that land use changes do not reduce the earth's natural ability to absorb carbon.
