HB 1257 prohibits all state and local government entities from preventing natural gas in new buildings, slowing the transition to a 100% clean energy economy.

This bill is a preemptive move by the natural gas industry to limit the autonomy of localities.

This concerted legal strategy to prevent local action is a direct response to the growing demand for healthier, cleaner buildings across the nation, and it poses a serious threat to climate action.
