Current Legislative Activities Related to Distributed Generation...

The Clean Energy Jobs Act

On April 5, 2007, Governor Doyle created a Task Force on Global Warming through Executive Order 191. The Task Force consisted of a diverse membership representing a cross-section of Wisconsin’s economy and its communities.

The Task Force issued a Final Report in July 20082 that recommended dozens of policy actions to reduce greenhouse gas pollution in Wisconsin while growing the state’s economy. Soon thereafter, committee leaders in the State Assembly and State Senate began work on an omnibus bill containing all of the main elements of the Task Force recommendations, excluding from the bill any recommendations that would have fiscal impacts for the state budget. The primary objective of the legislative drafting process was to craft statutory language that faithfully adhered to the recommendations of the Task Force as closely as possible.

The result of this effort is the proposed Clean Energy Jobs Act, which soon will be formally introduced in the Legislature.
