Establishes a greenhouse gas pollution cost-recovery program in Minnesota to recover costs from responsible parties.
The Greenhouse Gas Pollution Superfund Act creates a cost-recovery program to recover costs from entities responsible for greenhouse gas emissions. The program establishes a greenhouse gas pollution account to receive payments and disburse funds for climate change adaptation projects. The state auditor must assess the costs of greenhouse gas emissions to the state and its residents, updating the assessment every four years. The commissioner must determine proportional liability, impose cost-recovery demands, and collect payments.
