• JFO Brief Report on the Climate Action Plan

The Joint Fiscal Office (JFO) was charged in the Global Warming Solutions Act (GWSA) with producing a report for legislators that analyzes the “economic, budgetary, and fiscal costs and benefits of the Plan”. In partial fulfillment of that charge, this report offers a brief overview of the CAP, with a focus on emission reduction requirements, and raises key points for legislators to consider.
