ICJC Statement on Comprehensive Climate and Equitable Jobs Bill

“The Illinois Clean Jobs Coalition remains committed to legislation that meaningfully addresses our climate emergency, takes bold action on creating equitable jobs across the state, and enacts tough utility accountability measures.

“We are encouraged by today’s progress and believe setting a specific timeline for decarbonization is a significant step forward. We look forward to continued conversations in the House to address interim climate targets and earn the support of all stakeholders necessary to get this historic and urgent legislation across the finish line.”
