This bill died with 116th Congress. It reached “Passed House” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.
This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there are no live odds of enactment. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.
In plain language
The bill requires the President to create a plan to meet U.S. climate commitments under the Paris Agreement.
The Climate Action Now Act mandates the President to annually develop a plan to achieve the U.S. climate targets set by the Paris Agreement and prevents federal funds from being used to withdraw from the agreement. It also requires public comments and assessments regarding the plan's impacts on job development and economic competitiveness.

- Workers: This bill could lead to job creation in clean energy sectors as part of efforts to meet climate targets.
