Assessing California's Climate Policies

Chapter 135 of 2017 (AB 398, E. Garcia), requires our office to report annually on the economic impacts and benefits of the state’s greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets and on the state’s progress towards achieving those targets. (These statutory reporting requirements were amended by subsequent legislation and are contained in Health and Safety Code sections 38592.6 and 38562.2.)
