The bill establishes a limitation on civil and criminal liability for any alleged actual or potential effects on climate caused wholly or partly by greenhouse gas emissions. It defines key terms such as "agricultural source," "greenhouse gas," and "renewable fuel source," and specifies that a defendant cannot be held liable for damages or injuries related to climate effects unless it is proven that they violated specific statutory limitations or permit terms. The bill outlines that any civil or criminal action must clearly specify the greenhouse gases involved and demonstrate that identifiable damage resulted directly from the defendant's violation.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that its provisions do not create a right to bring civil or criminal actions or judicial remedies based on the potential climate effects of greenhouse gas emissions. The court must find clear and convincing evidence of a violation of enforceable regulations for liability to be established. Overall, the legislation aims to protect defendants from liability related to greenhouse gas emissions unless specific legal criteria are met.
