SB229

Establishes state policy to treat carbon dioxide as beneficial, not a pollutant, and opposes carbon reduction targets.

The bill, known as the Fueling Modern Life Act, establishes state policy to recognize carbon dioxide as a beneficial nutrient for life on earth rather than a pollutant. It opposes any measures or targets aimed at reducing carbon dioxide emissions, including "net-zero" targets. The bill argues that carbon dioxide is essential for plant growth and agricultural production, and that restrictions on carbon dioxide emissions unnecessarily limit economic activity and human prosperity. The act repeals existing air pollution control provisions and replaces them with this new policy framework.
