(Providence, RI) -- The Rhode Island General Assembly is one step closer to sending a climate change bill to the governor's desk. The House of Representatives on Tuesday approved legislation that would update the state's climate-emission goals and make them enforceable. The 2021 Act on Climate would serve as an update to the Resilient Rhode Island Act of 2014, with more ambitious goals that are updated by current science. The objective is to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. The House bill goes to the Senate, which last week approved identical legislation.
