California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006: reporting and verification: violations.

The California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 requires the State Air Resources 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. This bill would require the state board to utilize the greenhouse gas emissions data submitted in reports as part of the Low-Carbon Fuel Standard regulation in lieu of requiring the submission of the same greenhouse gas emissions data pursuant to the Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions regulation. The bill, commencing January 1, 2015, would prohibit the state board from requiring a regulated entity to report the same greenhouse gas emissions data in more than one program adopted pursuant to the act. The bill, commencing January 1, 2015, would require it not be a violation of any rule, regulation, order, emission limitation, emissions reduction measure, or other measure adopted by the state board if a regulated entity did not submit greenhouse gas emissions data pursuant to a rule, regulation, order, emission limitation, emissions reduction measure, or other measure if the state board already possessed that greenhouse gas emissions data pursuant to another rule, regulation, order, emission limitation, emissions reduction measure, or other measure.
