Changes the state's metrics for measuring greenhouse gas emissions

S 9324 changes how the state measures greenhouse gas emissions by updating the timeframe used to calculate "carbon dioxide equivalent" from 20 years to 100 years. This means emissions will now be assessed based on their long-term warming impact over a century, rather than a shorter 20-year period. The bill directly affects state environmental agencies and programs that track emissions, as they must use this new metric for reporting and analysis. The change modifies a specific definition in environmental law without altering emission reduction targets or creating new regulations.
