UU Legislative Ministry Climate News:
March 29, 2021
The Climate Solutions Now Act (SB 414) passed the Senate. This would be a good time to thank your Senator if they voted in the affirmative! The House Committees have not yet voted on it or the cross-filed bill. UULM-MD sent a targeted action earlier this week. Please email your delegate if you missed the action! There are some unfriendly amendments being discussed and your voice may be the difference. If your Delegate is on one of the Committees that are hearing this bill, you should have received a reminder to email them.
The Transportation Safety and Investment Act (HB 114) received preliminary approval in the Senate today! The bill will be up for final approval by the Senate next week. The House passed the bill last week and needs Senate approval.
The Utility Regulation – Consideration of Labor and Climate Act (SB 83 / HB 298) has passed both the Senate and the House and needs the approval of its opposite chamber. This act requires the Public Service Commission to consider the impact of any decision on either Labor or Climate.
The Plastic Bag Reduction Act (HB 314) has passed the House. The cross-filed Senate Bill (SB 223) is still in Committee.
The Community Choice Energy – Pilot Act (HB 768) passed in the House and is now onto the Senate. This bill will allow Montgomery County aggregate electrical requirements county-wide and negotiate with suppliers for low-cost clean electricity.
The Sustainable Buildings Act (Bird-Safe Building) (HB 236) passed in the House and will be heard in the Senate committee next week.
