LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTSB 1027, as introduced, Pan. Greenhouse gases.Existing law, the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, requires the State Air Resources Board to adopt a statewide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions limit equivalent to the statewide GHG emissions level in 1990 to be achieved by 2020. 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 all moneys, except for fines and penalties, collected by the state board from the auction or sale of allowances as part of a market-based compliance mechanism to be deposited in the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund and to be available upon appropriation by the Legislature.Existing law requires specified state agencies to prepare and submit to the Secretary for Environmental Protection specified information for inclusion in an annual greenhouse gas emission reduction report card, including a list of measures that the state agency has adopted or implemented, or that are needed, to meet GHG emission reduction targets, as defined, and information regarding the agencys own 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. The bill would require the implementation of these provisions to be funded with moneys from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, or other funds available to carry out the purposes of these provisions, upon appropriation by the Legislature.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: NO Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.
