The Rhode Island S2080 bill repeals the 2021 Act on Climate, which had established a statewide greenhouse gas emission reduction mandate. This act mandated specific emission reduction targets and required state agencies to exercise their existing authority to mitigate, adapt to, and build resilience against climate change. The bill's repeal removes these mandates and the associated duties and powers of the Rhode Island executive climate change coordinating council. The act takes effect upon passage.
