HB 18-1274

House Bill 18-1274, which has been signed into law, sets a goal for Colorado to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80% compared to the levels seen in 2005, with this target needing to be met by the year 2050. This means that by mid-century, the state aims to significantly cut down on gases like carbon dioxide that contribute to climate change. The bill affects all sectors of Colorado's economy and environment since it requires a broad reduction in emissions across the entire state. Being signed into law means that the legislation is now active and must be followed by relevant authorities.
