Assembly Bill 145 mandates that the Wisconsin legislature develop and pass legislation during the 2025-26 session aimed at reducing carbon emissions by 52 percent by the year 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. The bill emphasizes that any plans created must prioritize enhancing economic and racial equity, ensuring that the benefits of the legislation are distributed fairly across different communities.

The bill does not contain any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language that outlines the specific goals and requirements for the proposed carbon reduction plans. This initiative reflects a commitment to addressing climate change while also promoting social equity within the state.
