SB 19-096: Collect Long-term Climate Change Data
This act requires the Air Quality Control Commission in the Department of Public Health and Environment to collect greenhouse gas emissions data from greenhouse gas-emitting entities and report on the data, including a forecast of future emissions.
Summary
The AQCC will adopt rules by June 1, 2020, to require the reporting, and propose draft rules by July 1, 2020, to cost-effectively allow the state to meet its greenhouse gas emission reduction goals. The act also requires the division of administration in the department to update a statewide inventory of greenhouse gas emissions by sector and to post the findings of the inventory on the division's website through 2030.
