Climate Superfund bills are state-level legislation that require major fossil fuel companies to help pay for climate-related damages and adaptation measures. These bills ensure that companies responsible for significant greenhouse gas emissions contribute to addressing the climate crisis they helped create. The bills establish a program to collect funds from the biggest polluting companies to help the state pay for climate-related damages and adaptation measures. S.B.1439 would grant the oil and gas industry immunity from accountability for its contribution to the harmful effects of climate change.
Due to increased winter storms and extreme drought, Oklahomans are paying for the impacts of climate either through higher insurance rates or the need for new infrastructure. Polluters should pay and take responsibility for their pollution. If passed, this bill would leave everyday Oklahomans without any way to hold one of our state’s largest industries accountable for its actions.
