Collect Long-term Climate Change Data (SB 96)
BILL SUMMARY:
This bill requires the Air Quality Control Commission in the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) to promulgate rules by June 1, 2020, requiring greenhouse gas-emitting entities to monitor and publicly report their emissions. The rules must also direct the Air Quality Control Division in CDPHE to update the statewide inventory of greenhouse gas emissions by sector, no less than every two years. The inventory must include a forecast of Colorado's greenhouse gas emissions for 2025, and every five years through 2045, and a recalculation of Colorado's 2005 greenhouse gas emissions to serve as a baseline for measuring progress against greenhouse gas emission reduction goals. By July 1, 2020, the board is required to publish a
notice of proposed rule-making that proposes rules to implement measures that will cost-effectively allow the state to meet its greenhouse gas emission reduction goals. The division is required to
publicly release the inventory on its website and maintain the data at least through 2030.
