Democratic California lawmakers are proposing a package of climate bills aimed at making companies more transparent about their greenhouse gas emissions.
Democratic lawmakers in California introduced a package of climate bills Monday aimed at holding corporations accountable for their greenhouse gas emissions.
The policy group California Environmental Voters came out in support of the bills, saying the state has the opportunity to serve as a model for increasing transparency by companies regarding their emissions. U.S. corporations that bring in at least $1 billion in revenue and do business in California would have to annually report their greenhouse gas emissions to the public under a bill re-introduced by Sen. Scott Wiener, a San Francisco Democrat. It fell one vote short of passing in the Assembly last year after passing in the Senate.
