Maryland legislation would charge companies for carbon emissions Source: By Madison Hunt, Associated Press • Posted: Monday, March 1, 2021
Maryland lawmakers would charge fees on fossil fuels and high-emissions vehicles to reduce pollution within the state and send the first $350 million annually to fund schools under a bill in the state’s General Assembly.
H.B. 33, the “Climate Crisis and Education Act,” cross-filed with S.B. 76, would require the state to reduce its carbon emissions from 2006 by 60% by 2030 and reach net zero carbon emissions by 2045.
Beginning July 31, 2022, all fossil fuels brought into Maryland for burning and all new high-emission vehicles sold or registered within the state would incur a fee, according to the bill.
