The Connecticut League of Conservation Voters reports that thanks to our grassroots advocacy, these bills have passed out of committee and are on their way to the House and Senate:
SB 4 is an air quality bill that will reduce transportation emissions by investing in electric school buses for communities across the state, incentivizing electric vehicle and e-bike purchases, adding electric vehicle charging stations, and other air quality programs. SB 10 will set a 100% zero carbon target for electricity supplied to Connecticut customers. SB 120 will prohibit the use of the chlorpyrifos on golf courses and restrict the use of neonicotinoids for nonagricultural use. SB 176 will allow more clean and renewable energy generated by rooftop commercial solar and shared community solar. SB 214 will make it easier to buy and maintain an electric vehicle in Connecticut by allowing manufacturers to sell directly to consumers. SB 292 will require clean technologies, such as heat pumps, to be incorporated in building renovations and new construction as a cost-effective way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. HB 5039 will allow DEEP to adopt strong medium and heavy-duty vehicle emissions standards.
