On page 18, after line 38 of the striking amendment, insert the following:

"(f) Any jurisdiction that imposes a requirement under this act on private property or an individual to reduce or eliminate greenhouse gas emissions or otherwise comply with the climate change and resiliency element of the comprehensive plan must show that the requirement will result in a measurable improvement to climate change in the form of reductions in water temperatures, including salmon-bearing waterbodies, within the jurisdiction. If the jurisdiction cannot show measurable improvement then the jurisdiction need not implement such provisions that are ineffective in reducing greenhouse gas emissions."

EFFECT:   Requires jurisdictions that impose greenhouse gas emissions reduction or elimination requirements, or other requirements to comply with the climate change and resiliency element, on private property or individuals to show a measurable improvement to climate change in the form of reductions in water temperatures within the jurisdiction. Provides that a jurisdiction need not implement such provisions if the jurisdiction cannot show measurable improvement in the reduction of water temperatures.
