California Air Resources Board Requests Feedback on Implementation of Climate Regulations

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has released an information solicitation to request feedback on how it should approach the implementation of climate-related Senate Bills (SBs) 253 and 261. The two SBs (enacted in 2023) “require business entities formed under the laws of California, the laws of any other state of the United States or the District of Columbia, or under an act of the Congress of the United States . . . to report specified greenhouse gas . . . emissions and climate related financial risks.” CARB is responsible for establishing regulations to implement SB 253 and SB 261 (as amended by SB 216) no later than July 1, 2025.
