What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, local governmental units are required or permitted to

prepare a variety of plans that guide the local governmental unit's response to future

events. Among these plans are comprehensive plans that assist in guiding a local

governmental unit's future physical development, community health plans that

assist in guiding a local governmental unit's response to community health

problems, and hazard mitigation plans that assist a local governmental unit in

preparing for disasters. Under this bill, if a local governmental unit prepares a

comprehensive plan, a community health plan, or a disaster mitigation plan, it must

consider the effects of climate change when preparing the plan.

The bill also requires the Department of Administration to administer a climate

change planning grant program under which DOA provides grants to local

governmental units to pay the cost of considering climate change in a comprehensive

plan, a community health plan, or a disaster mitigation plan.
