The bill requires the Department of Energy and Environmental
Protection (DEEP), by January 1, 2025, to produce a Connecticut
Decarbonization Roadmap, within available appropriations, identifying
the regulations and programs required to meet the state’s greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets. This has no fiscal impact since
the agency has the necessary expertise for this requirement.
It also requires DEEP to identify additional federal funds available to
municipalities and schools for reducing carbon emissions. This could
