SB 31 OPPOSE. While SB 31 is presented as an increase in funding for building decarbonization efforts, this bill actually limits the state’s ability to reduce emissions from buildings by excluding renewable gas (RG) and singularly directing funding to electrification programs. SB 31 will give state regulators free reign to fund electrification only efforts without fully evaluating the benefits of RG to achieve the climate policy imperative of net zero emissions and diminishing the prospects for achieving the climate policy imperatives.
