This bill would prohibit the federal government from spending any money on the American Climate Corps and the Justice40 Initiative, both climate-related programs established by the Biden administration. The American Climate Corps is a workforce development program designed to create jobs in renewable energy and environmental conservation, while Justice40 is an initiative focused on directing climate and environmental investment benefits to disadvantaged communities. The legislation would effectively eliminate federal funding for these programs, halting their operations and preventing any new spending in this area. The bill was introduced in November 2023 and referred to multiple House committees including Energy and Commerce, Natural Resources, Education and the Workforce, and Oversight and Accountability. If enacted, this would represent a significant policy reversal for federal climate and environmental job programs.
