Establishes a climate change adaptation cost recovery program in Hawaii.

The Climate Change Superfund Act establishes a climate change adaptation cost recovery program in Hawaii. The program requires companies that have contributed significantly to the buildup of climate change-driving greenhouse gases to bear a proportionate share of the cost of infrastructure investments and other expenses necessary for comprehensive adaptation to the impacts of climate change in the State. The program operates under a standard of strict liability, meaning companies will be required to pay into the fund because the use of their products caused the pollution.
