Why it matters
This is part of Our Environment — environment, climate, and the land we share.
How this affects households
Under $30,000
Families in this bracket often live in neighborhoods closer to industrial areas where air pollution is worse. This law will help protect their health by reducing toxic gas in the air they breathe.
$30,000-$60,000
Working families in this bracket will benefit from cleaner air and stronger health protections, especially if they live or work near industrial sites.
$60,000-$100,000
Middle-income households will see improved air quality in their communities. The law doesn't directly change their household costs but protects their family's health.
Over $100,000
Higher-income families already tend to live in areas with better air quality. They'll benefit from statewide cleaner air but may see the smallest change in their daily lives.
