What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
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.
