Relates to enacting the climate and community investment act

Summary

The bill adds a new Title 13 to the Environmental Conservation Law that requires the state to calculate a social cost for each regulated air contaminant and charge polluters a fee based on that cost. The fees collected are placed in a trust fund, with a portion earmarked for disadvantaged communities and air‑quality programs. It aims to internalize pollution costs and direct revenue toward mitigation and equity.
