Resolutions, Ordinances, or Other Climate Legislation

This assessment is based on one piece of legislation. On July 24, 2018, Monterey County adopted a resolution urging Congress to implement a carbon tax—a fee on fossil fuels designed to reduce their use and lower emissions. Under this proposal, the tax would start low and gradually increase over time, with all revenue returned directly to households as monthly payments to offset costs for most families. The resolution also includes protections for American businesses competing internationally. This action supports Monterey County’s broader climate goals, which aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from activities like energy use and transportation.
