Support AB-1243 for Climate Accountability Now

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

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 addressing the urgent climate crisis by ensuring that fossil fuel polluters are held financially accountable for the environmental damage caused by their emissions. AB-1243 establishes a necessary framework where polluters contribute to a superfund dedicated to mitigating and adapting to climate change impacts. This approach not only alleviates the financial burden on California taxpayers but also ensures that at least 40% of the funds directly benefit disadvantaged communities, which are often the most affected by climate change. The bill's requirement for a comprehensive climate cost study ensures that cost recovery demands are based on robust scientific data, allowing for adjustments as new findings emerge. This scientific grounding is essential for fair and effective implementation. Additionally, the legal and administrative framework provided by the bill ensures accountability and compliance, with penalties for non-compliance and provisions to protect existing legal rights. By supporting AB-1243, we are taking a significant step towards a sustainable and resilient future for California. I urge you to support this bill and help ensure its swift passage. Thank you for considering my perspective on this critical issue. Sincerely,
