Support AB-1243 to Hold Polluters Accountable

Subject: Support AB-1243 to Hold Polluters Accountable and Fund Climate Resilience in California

My name is [Full Name], and I am writing as a constituent to express my strong support for AB-1243, the Polluters Pay Climate Superfund Act of 2025. This bill is a crucial step in holding fossil fuel companies accountable for their significant contributions to climate change, ensuring they pay their fair share for the damages caused by greenhouse gas emissions. AB-1243 establishes the Polluters Pay Climate Superfund Program, which is essential for alleviating the financial burden on California taxpayers. By requiring fossil fuel companies to contribute based on their historical emissions, the bill ensures that those responsible for climate-related damages are held accountable. This approach not only promotes financial responsibility but also supports projects that mitigate and adapt to climate change impacts, with a focus on benefiting disadvantaged communities. The bill's comprehensive and transparent process, administered by the California Environmental Protection Agency, ensures fairness and accountability. Regular updates to the climate cost study and the opportunity for responsible parties to challenge their designations further enhance the bill's integrity. By supporting AB-1243, we are investing in California's resilience against climate change and promoting a sustainable future. I urge you to support this vital legislation and help secure a healthier environment for all Californians. Thank you for considering my perspective. Sincerely,
