The bill amends the "2021 Act on Climate" by introducing new sections that require the climate change coordinating council to study and report on the environmental impacts of carbon-free energy technologies on impoverished and developing countries. This includes examining human rights abuses and labor conditions in the supply chain, the environmental effects of mining materials such as copper, lithium, cobalt, nickel, and neodymium, and the pollution resulting from the decommissioning, recycling, and disposal of these technologies. The council is mandated to submit an annual report to the speaker of the house, the president of the senate, and the governor by January 15.

Additionally, the bill mandates an annual study on the nickel content in electric vehicle batteries and energy storage facilities sold or constructed in the state, including identifying the country, state, or province of origin of the nickel, starting in 2027.

The bill also stipulates that solar energy permits will only be issued if applicants demonstrate in writing that sufficient resources are available and set aside for the recycling and decommissioning of photovoltaic panels at the end of their useful life.

Furthermore, it requires that blades from decommissioned or repowered wind energy conversion systems operating in the state be disposed of or recycled within the state, unless they are to be recycled into a useful byproduct, with approval from the department of environmental management after consultation with the council.

Lastly, the bill establishes a program for tradable renewable energy credits for electricity generated by eligible energy technology, ensuring that credits are only issued for energy produced without the use of materials associated with labor abuses or harmful chemicals. The program will be implemented in coordination with the provisions of the regional greenhouse gas initiative act. This act will take effect upon passage.
