On May 30, 2024, Vermont Governor Philip Scott allowed S.259 (entitled the Climate Superfund Act) to become law without his signature. The Act relating to climate change cost recovery will require the development of claims to shift the cost of alleged climate-related impacts in Vermont onto the companies that produced fossil fuels responsible for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Legal challenges to both the law and any regulations promulgated pursuant to it are certainly expected. For more information on this development or other climate change-related matters, please contact Jean Mosites or Gina Falaschi Buchman or any of our other environmental attorneys.
