A bill for an act providing a limitation on civil or criminal liability for any alleged actual or potential effect on climate caused wholly or partly by a greenhouse gas emission.(Formerly SSB 3133.)

This bill limits the civil or criminal liability of individuals or businesses for any climate effects that may be linked to greenhouse gas emissions. Essentially, if someone is accused of causing climate change due to their emissions, they cannot be held legally responsible. The bill aims to protect those involved in agriculture and related industries from lawsuits regarding climate impacts.

Supporters of the bill argue that it provides necessary legal protections for farmers and businesses, allowing them to operate without the fear of costly lawsuits related to climate change. They believe this will encourage agricultural production and innovation without the burden of potential liabilities tied to greenhouse gas emissions.

Critics of the bill contend that it undermines accountability for environmental harm and could hinder efforts to combat climate change. They argue that by limiting liability, the bill may allow harmful practices to continue unchecked, ultimately jeopardizing public health and the environment.
