A 6327: Authorizes existing building projects to continue when the fossil fuel ban takes effect.
The bill aims to support the state's clean energy and climate agenda by implementing a ban on fossil fuel equipment and building systems in new buildings. The ban will take effect in two stages: - New buildings not exceeding seven stories in height will be prohibited from installing fossil fuel equipment and building systems on or after December 31, 2025. - All new buildings will be prohibited from installing fossil fuel equipment and building systems after December 31, 2028. However, the ban will not apply to buildings for which a site plan, tentative map, or subdivision plat has been approved before the specified dates, or to buildings for which a building permit has been issued prior to the dates.
