MODERATE
The bill was renumbered to S. 9072-A and its timeline was accelerated by one year. The department must now adopt regulations by December 31, 2027, instead of 2026. Consequently, companies must begin disclosing Scope 1 and 2 emissions starting in 2028 and Scope 3 emissions starting in 2029, rather than the previous schedule.
Scope change
The bill's scope regarding which companies must report remains unchanged, but the deadlines for compliance have moved up.
TIMELINE
The deadline for the department to adopt regulations was moved from December 31, 2026, to December 31, 2027.
The start date for public disclosure of Scope 1 and 2 emissions was moved from 2027 to 2028.
The start date for public disclosure of Scope 3 emissions was moved from 2028 to 2029.
DEFINITION
The definition of 'Emissions reporting organization' was renumbered and slightly rephrased for clarity, changing lettered lists to numbered lists (i, ii).
