Healthy Climate and Family Security Act of 2024

The Healthy Climate and Family Security Act of 2024 establishes a cap-and-dividend system for carbon emissions, requiring oil, coal, and natural gas producers to purchase permits for their emissions. The bill sets specific emissions reduction targets (50% below 2015 levels by 2030, 90% by 2050) and auctions permits with a minimum price of $40 per ton that increases annually. Revenue from permit sales is returned to households through quarterly tax-free "Healthy Climate Dividend" payments. The legislation also includes environmental justice provisions requiring air quality monitoring in disadvantaged communities and border adjustments for carbon-intensive imports.
