	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2313, as introduced, Buchanan. Greenhouse gas: emissions:
significant effects.
    The California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 requires the
State Air Resources Board (state board) to adopt regulations to
require the reporting and verification of emissions of greenhouse
gases and to monitor and enforce compliance with the reporting and
verification program, and requires the state board to adopt a
statewide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions limit equivalent to the
statewide GHG emissions levels 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 requires all
state agencies to consider and implement strategies to reduce their
GHG emissions.
   This bill would declare the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation regarding the determination of significant effects
resulting from greenhouse gas emissions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
