The act requires the state board to adopt rules and regulations in an open public process to achieve the maximum technologically feasible and cost-effective GHG emission reductions. The act authorizes the state board to include use of market-based compliance mechanisms. The act requires all state agencies to consider and implement strategies to reduce their GHG emissions.

Existing law requires the specified state agencies, not less than once every 3 years, to the extent funds are available, to conduct an independent audit and verification of the actual and proposed GHG emission reductions achieved by the state agency, in order to ensure that the agency is achieving GHG emission reduction targets.This bill would require the GHG emission reduction targets to also include targets for each employee or category of employees, and would require the information prepared and submitted for the report card to include information about employee GHG emissions. The bill would require an independent audit and verification to include actual and proposed reductions achieved for each employee or category of employees, to identify areas of improvement and determine best practices for reducing employee GHG emissions, and to revise employee GHG emission reduction targets and proposed measures for reducing employee GHG emissions pursuant to that determination.

(2) A list and timetable for adoption of any additional measures needed to meet GHG emission reduction targets.
(3) An estimate of the departments state agencys own greenhouse gas GHG emissions, and the GHG emissions of each employee or category of employees, as well as an explanation of any increase or decrease compared to the previous years emissions.
(4) A GHG emission reduction target, or updated target, for each employee or category of employees.
(b) In order to reduce paperwork and workload, information required to be submitted pursuant to this section may be submitted in a standardized electronic format as determined by the agency.

(d) The report card shall compare the actions taken and proposed to be taken by individual state agencies and their projected annual GHG emission reductions against the state agency GHG emission reduction targets and statewide GHG emission reduction limits.
(e) Where appropriate, the report card shall include a statement regarding the independent audits required by Section 12893.
(f) In conjunction with the Governors Budget submitted pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 12 of Article IV of the California Constitution, on or before January 10 of each year, the agency shall submit to the Legislature a comprehensive budget display that includes both of the following:
