House Speaker Ron Mariano said Wednesday that his chamber could pursue climate-related legislation this session, a move that would add one more item to the branch’s already busy end-of-session agenda.

The Quincy Democrat did not delve into specifics but told reporters Telecommunications, Utilities, and Energy Co-Chair Rep. Jeff Roy approached him “about something that he’s getting ready to bring out.”

“Well, that’s funny, we were just talking about that. We are working on something,” Mariano said when asked if the House had any interest in a climate bill.

Senate President Karen Spilka signaled last month that Democrats in her chamber are preparing to release a “comprehensive plan” to address climate change. The Ashland Democrat also did not cover specifics but mentioned public transportation and emissions-free travel as ways to combat climate change.
