What this might accomplish is the acceleration of Insurers moving out of CT. If CT had an otherwise well diversified economy, it might not be a biggie. If they have a lot of insurers there, then it might not be such a good move.
In addition, if there is less resource extraction in the US which has higher regulation, this will move extraction overseas where there is lighter regulation, but the local politicians feel good about doing something.

The bill is scoped to projects in Connecticut. Nobody is relocating their headquarters over that because they’d either pay the same fee anyway or pass on those projects.
