Redraft Amendment 7

Climate emergency

Mr. Pacheco, Ms. Jehlen, Ms. Rausch, Ms. Comerford, Ms. Chang-Diaz and Mr. Eldridge move that the proposed new draft be amended by inserting before the enacting clause, the following emergency preamble:-

Whereas, the deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to drastically lower our greenhouse gas emissions to confront our world and Commonwealth's climate emergency, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, safety, health, and convenience.
