It is the intent of the Legislature to do all of the following:

(c) Support taxpayers and employers who voluntarily pay higher wages to clean energy workers in order to qualify for the larger tax incentives provided by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (Public Law 117-169) to shield those taxpayers and employers from penalties or litigation for so doing.
