[PDF] LAO's Analysis of AB 32 Scoping Plan's Economic Analysis

Rather, the regulator would set the tax at a dollar amount per ton of emis- sions so that, overall, the resulting amount of emissions will not exceed regulatory tar- gets. This is because at least some emissions sources are assumed to reduce their emis- sions in order to avoid the tax.

[PDF] Proposition 23

Chapter 488, Statutes of 2006 (AB 32, Núñez), established the target of reducing the state’s emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) by 2020 to the level that emis- sions were at in 1990. It is estimated that achieving this target would result in about a 30 percent reduction in GHGs in 2020 from where their level would otherwise be in the absence of AB 32.  Other Laws Would Reduce GHG Emissions.

The 2022-23 Budget: Fuel Price and Other Fiscal Relief Options

May 12, 2022 - Depending on the magnitude of how much it was to lower fuel taxes, such a price reduction could potentially result in more driving and higher fuel consumption, which in turn could lead to relative increases in GHG emi ssions and other forms of  pollution.

[PDF] LAO's Critique of the AB 32 Scoping Plan Economic Analysis

Despite its predic- tion of eventual net economic benefi t, the scoping plan fails to lay out an investment pathway to reach its goals for GHG emis- sions levels in 2020. Such a pathway would describe, year-by- year, the investments required by implementation of the plan and the timing of the economic return on those investments.

[PDF] California Property Owners and Farmland Protection Act

The measure would limit government’s ability to acquire property through the emi- nent domain process. Because government would have an increased incentive to ac- quire property from willing sellers, property owners might charge government more for their properties and/or government might buy less property than otherwise would be the case.

[PDF] California Jobs Initiative (version 2)

In addition to AB 32, a number of other state statutes have been enacted that could reduce GHG emis- sions. In some cases, the main purpose of the statute is to reduce GHG emissions, such as in the case of legislation enacted by Chapter 200, Statutes of 2002 (AB 1493, Pavley), Hon.
