— from Governor Inslee’s Office —

“On this Earth Day, I couldn’t be more proud of the Legislature’s action to pass the country’s most forward looking clean energy bill. There are a number of other meaningful climate bills moving forward this legislative session, but more than any other, this bill will fundamentally transform Washington’s energy future and transition us to 100 percent clean energy.

“I look forward to signing this legislation and I thank Sens. Carlyle, Palumbo and Billig, and Reps. Tarleton and Fitzgibbon for their remarkable leadership.”
