Minnesota HF3945 establishes a greenhouse gas pollution cost-recovery program to secure payments from responsible parties and fund climate change.

Minnesota HF3945 creates a greenhouse gas pollution cost-recovery program to collect payments from entities responsible for greenhouse gas emissions. The program involves determining proportional liability, imposing cost-recovery demands, and collecting payments. The funds collected are deposited into a greenhouse gas pollution account in the environmental fund. The commissioner must issue cost-recovery demands, accept payments, and disburse money for climate change adaptation projects. The state auditor updates the climate cost assessment every four years.
