California SB684 would establish a Polluters Pay Climate Superfund to hold fossil fuel companies accountable for climate change damages.

The Polluters Pay Climate Superfund Act of 2025 establishes a fund to require fossil fuel companies to pay for the damage caused by their emissions. The California Environmental Protection Agency will administer the fund, which will finance projects to mitigate climate change and its impacts. The agency will assess fees on companies based on their emissions and use the funds for projects benefiting disadvantaged communities. The fund will also finance programs to increase energy efficiency, transition to clean energy, and support communities and workers affected by climate change.
