A bill for an act providing a limitation on civil or criminal liability for any alleged actual or potential effect on climate caused wholly or partly by a greenhouse gas emission.

Summary

The bill bars lawsuits—both civil and criminal—against anyone accused of causing climate effects through greenhouse‑gas emissions, unless a court finds they broke a specific state emissions limit or permit condition. It requires plaintiffs to identify each gas emitted and prove clear, unavoidable damage linked to a statutory violation. The measure aims to protect businesses and other emitters from broad climate‑change litigation.
