Senator John Kerry and Senator Barbara Boxer have written a climate bill together - the Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act (S. 1733). This original version of the bill as it was introduced, can be read, here.

Senator Boxer chairs the US Senate Environment & Public Works Committee, one of the 6 committees that US Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has charged with the responsibility of drafting climate legislation.

Senator Boxer's committee will hold the first of a series of 3 hearings on the bill that she and Senator Kerry introduced, this Wednesday, October 27. As the legislative process moves along, the content of the climate bill will change.
