MINOR

The bill was amended to add new sponsors and update the timeline for corporate emissions reporting. The most significant change moves the deadline for the department to adopt regulations from 2026 to 2027, and shifts the start date for mandatory Scope 3 emissions reporting from 2028 to 2029. These adjustments provide the department with an additional year to prepare the necessary rules and compliance frameworks.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains focused on large corporations (over $1 billion in revenue) operating in New York, but the timeline for compliance has been extended.

TIMELINE

The deadline for the department to adopt regulations was extended from December 31, 2026, to December 31, 2027.

The start date for mandatory public disclosure of Scope 3 emissions was delayed from 2028 to 2028 (starting in 2028 for the 2027 fiscal year, effectively pushing the first full report to 2029).

ELIGIBILITY

A list of new co-sponsors was added to the bill, expanding the coalition of legislators supporting the legislation.
