Resolutions, Ordinances, or Other Climate Legislation

This assessment is based on one piece of legislation. Modesto City Council Resolution No. 2016-43 expresses the city’s support for a national carbon fee and dividend program, which would charge businesses for carbon emissions starting at $15 per ton and increase annually, with all collected fees returned equally to households each month. The resolution identifies specific climate risks facing the Modesto region, including rising summer temperatures, significant snowpack loss in the Sierra Nevada, and worsening air quality in the San Joaquin Valley. The city directed its Mayor to advocate for this type of national carbon pricing legislation to elected officials across multiple counties and the state level.
