WHAT'S OUR RECORD? ALL EYES ON
STATE SENATOR SCOTT WIENER IS
HERE. EVERYBODY WELCOME. THAT'S
WHAT I THOUGHT HE WAS ASKING
YOU. ALL RIGHT. FOR SB ALL
RIGHT, Y'ALL, THIS IS SB 219.
YOU CAN BEGIN WHENEVER YOU'RE
READY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, MR.
CHAIR. THANK YOU. COLLEAGUES,
I'M PRESENTING SB 219, JOINT,
AUTHORED BY MYSELF AND SENATOR
STERN, THIS MAKES SEVERAL
TECHNICAL AMENDMENTS TO, SB 253
AND SB 261 FROM LAST YEAR,
RELATING TO CORPORATE CLIMATE
DISCLOSURES AND CLIMATE RISK
DISCLOSURES, AS A REMINDER, THIS
APPLIES TO ALL US BASED
CORPORATIONS DOING BUSINESS IN
CALIFORNIA WITH ANNUAL GROSS
REVENUES ABOVE 1 BILLION FOR SB
253 AND ABOVE 500 MILLION FOR SB
261, AND THESE TECHNICAL
AMENDMENTS, WERE REQUESTED BY
THE ADMINISTRATION. IN ADDITION,
WE ARE THE BILL WOULD PROVIDE
CARB WITH AN ADDITIONAL SIX
MONTHS TO ISSUE ITS REGULATIONS
IMPLEMENTING THE LAW WITHOUT
DELAYING THE ACTUAL DISCLOSURES.
I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE
VOTE, WITH ME TODAY IS MELISSA
ROMERO WITH CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL VOTERS AND
CATHERINE ATKIN WITH CARBON
ACCOUNTABLE, TWO OF THE
CO-SPONSORS OF THE ORIGINAL
BILLS. THANK YOU, SENATOR. TWO
MINUTES. THANK YOU. JUST POWER
WALKED HERE, BUT I MADE IT.
MELISSA ROMERO WITH CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL VOTERS, A PROUD
SPONSOR OF SB 253 AND A STRONG
SUPPORTER OF SB 261 AND HAPPY TO
BE HERE IN SUPPORT OF SB 219
TODAY ALONGSIDE SENATOR WIENER.
LAST YEAR, WHEN CALIFORNIA
PASSED SB 253 AND 261 INTO LAW,
IT WAS CLEAR THAT THESE WERE IN
FACT GLOBALLY SIGNIFICANT LAWS.
THE WORLD IS LOOKING AT
CALIFORNIA. THE LEGISLATURE HAS
PASSED SOME OF THE MOST
SIGNIFICANT CLIMATE POLICIES IN
HISTORY, INSPIRING REPLICATION
WORLDWIDE. SB 253 AND 261 ARE
NOW PART OF THAT LEGACY, AND
IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THESE LAWS
ARE NOT UNNECESSARILY DELAYED.
NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO SLOW DOWN
THE CLIMATE CRISIS IS
ACCELERATING, AND CALIFORNIA
MUST CHARGE AHEAD. ANY FURTHER
DELAYS TO SB? 253 WILL
INTERNATIONAL GOVERNMENTS
IMPLEMENT THEIR CLIMATE
DISCLOSURE LAWS? COULD SIGNAL
UNCERTAINTY IN WHETHER OR NOT
CALIFORNIA WILL IMPLEMENT THESE
LAWS IN A WAY THAT WILL CAUSE A
DETRIMENTAL AMOUNT OF
UNCERTAINTY FOR COMPANIES WHO
ARE PREPARING NOW, AND WHO
LARGELY ARE PREPARED TO REPORT
THEIR EMISSIONS WITH SB. 253 WE
CAN'T AFFORD TO SEND THAT
MESSAGE. THE CONTEXT GLOBALLY IS
THAT 20 COUNTRIES REPRESENTING
55% OF GLOBAL GDP ARE ADOPTING
THE NEW INTERNATIONAL
SUSTAINABLE SUSTAINABILITY
STANDARD BOARD'S STANDARD FOR
REPORTING EMISSIONS AND CLIMATE
RELATED RISKS. DO WE WANT
CALIFORNIA'S STORY TO BE ONE OF
RETREAT OR PROUDLY STANDING
FIRM? WE WOULD ENCOURAGE THE
LATTER. WE THINK THAT THIS BILL
PROVIDES FLEXIBILITY FOR THE
AGENCY IN A WAY THAT ALSO
MAINTAINS THE CORE IMPORTANCE OF
THE LAW, AND FOR THAT, FOR THOSE
REASONS, WE RECOMMEND AN AYE
VOTE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO
MUCH. YEAH. CATHERINE ATKIN FROM
CARBON ACCOUNTABLE HERE TO
ANSWER QUESTIONS IF NECESSARY.
SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE READY TO GO.
AWESOME. AND SEEING NOBODY IN
OPPOSITION. MR. CHAIR, YOU KNOW
I DEFINITELY SAW YOU. YEAH, I
KNOW, TWO MINUTES BÀN, MR. CHAIR
AND MEMBERS, BEN GOLOMBEK, ON
BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE HERE TO EXPRESS NOT
OPPOSITION, BUT STRONG CONCERN
WITH SB 219. WE ALL KNOW THE
RESULT HERE TODAY, SO I'M NOT
GOING TO BELABOR THE POINT, BUT
CONSIDERING THE NUMBER OF YEARS
THAT WERE SPENT ON THIS EFFORT,
I DO NEED TO MAKE A FEW POINTS
BEFORE THIS BILL MOVES FORWARD.
ONE OF THE SUPPORTERS BEFORE
THIS HEARING CALLED IT A DINKY
LITTLE CLEANUP BILL, AND I DO
THINK THAT DESCRIBES IT WELL.
UNFORTUNATELY, THE BILL THAT
CLEANS UP SB 253 IS ANYTHING BUT
A DINKY LITTLE BILL. I KNOW A
NUMBER OF MEMBERS VOTED FOR SB
253 WITH THE PROMISE OF CLEAN UP
LEGISLATION. THIS YEAR. THIS
BILL FALLS FAR SHORT OF THE
PROMISES MADE LAST YEAR. THE ONE
PROVISION IN THE BILL ABOUT
PARENT SUBSIDIARY, A SUBSIDIARY
CLEANUP IS A POSITIVE STEP, BUT
IT DOES NOT ADDRESS THE NUMEROUS
FLAWS WITH LAST YEAR'S
LEGISLATION, FROM DELAYING THE
IMPLEMENTATION, ADDRESSING THE
PROBLEMS WITH THE SOLELY
FOCUSING ON THE GHG PROTOCOL,
DEALING WITH THE AMBIGUITY
AROUND FINANCED EMISSIONS, THIS
BILL FALLS FAR, FAR SHORT OF
WHAT'S NEEDED IN TERMS OF
CLEANUP LEGISLATION. SINCE THIS.
SINCE THIS BILL PASSED, THE
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AND OTHERS,
IN FACT, HAVE REJECTED THE
CONCEPT OF REPORTING SCOPE THREE
EMISSIONS BECAUSE THEY KNOW IT'S
SIMPLY NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME.
AND THE SENATOR MENTIONED THAT
THESE AMENDS WERE ASKED FOR BY
THE ADMINISTRATION. I WILL BE I
WOULD BE REMISS TO NOTE THAT THE
ADMINISTRATION, IN FACT, PUT OUT
VERY DIFFERENT LANGUAGE INTO A
TRAILER BILL EARLIER THIS YEAR
ON THIS TOPIC. FOR THOSE AND
OTHER REASONS, WE ARE HERE IN
STRONG CONCERN. THANK YOU, MR.
CHAIR. THANK YOU SIR. ANYBODY
ELSE IN THE HEARING ROOM WOULD
LIKE TO REGISTER THEIR SUPPORT
OR OPPOSITION? MR. CHAIRMAN,
MEMBERS DAVE JONES FROM
INSURANCE COMMISSIONER IN
SUPPORT. THIS BILL PROVIDES A
TECHNICAL AMENDMENT SOUGHT BY
CARB AS WELL AS PROVIDING
ADDITIONAL CARB TO TIME TO CARB
TO ACCOMPLISH THE REGULATIONS.
AS A FORMER AGENCY HEAD, THERE'S
NO QUESTION THAT CARB CAN
ACCOMPLISH THIS IN THE TIME
PROVIDED. ASK FOR I VOTE KIM
STONE. STONE ADVOCACY FOR
PERSEPHONE IN SUPPORT. THANK YOU,
EVAN MINTON WITH VOICES FOR
PROGRESS AND STRONG SUPPORT.
MARK FENSTERMAKER ON BEHALF OF
EARTHJUSTICE IN SUPPORT.
SAMANTHA SAMUELSON ON BEHALF OF
SERIES IN SUPPORT. THANK YOU SO
MUCH. ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS
FROM MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE?
MR. KHN, I NØ ME ASKING A
QUESTION BRINGS MR. CHAIR JOY.
SO HERE I GO, I GUESS I'M A
LITTLE CONFUSED. I'LL BE HONEST.
I ASSUME THAT THE DELAY MAYBE
I'M WRONG, MR. GOLOMBEK, BUT I
ASSUME EVERYONE AGREES THE DELAY
IS NECESSARY. IS THAT NOT THE
OPPOSITION'S OPINION? RIGHT. THE
CONCERN. I SHOULDN'T CALL IT
OPPOSITION BECAUSE HE SAID
CONCERNED. YEAH. NO. A DAY DELAY
IS DEFINITELY NECESSARY. I MEAN,
AGAIN, THE ADMINISTRATION PUT
INTO A TRAILER BILL A TWO YEAR
DELAY. THIS HAS A SIX MONTH
DELAY IN TERMS OF, YOU KNOW,
CARB SORT OF STARTING THE
REGULATIONS. AND SO WE JUST
THINK THAT FALLS FAR SHORT,
OKAY. ESPECIALLY WITH EVERYTHING
ELSE THAT CARB IS MANAGING AT
THIS TIME. AND AS WE MENTIONED,
OBVIOUSLY CALIFORNIA IS THE ONLY,
ENTITY CERTAINLY IN THE COUNTRY
DOING SCOPE THREE, REQUIRING
SCOPE THREE EMISSIONS. AND SO
WE'RE GOING TO BECOME SORT OF
THE NATIONAL REPORTER. I
UNDERSTAND THAT I JUST, I
ASSUME, BASED ON YOUR PREVIOUS
COMMENTS, THAT SIX MONTHS,
ALTHOUGH FALL FAR SHORT, IS
STILL SUPERIOR TO THIS BILL NOT
PASSING. SO THEREFORE THAT'S WHY
I THOUGHT YOU WERE CONCERNED. SO
I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT.
BUT I THINK I UNDERSTAND THAT
CORRECTLY. I YES, SIX MONTHS IS
DEFINITELY BETTER THAN ZERO
MONTHS. RIGHT. BUT IT IS NOT
NEARLY ENOUGH TIME. YES, YOU DID
A GOOD JOB RIGHT. CONVEYING
THAT, AND I'M GOING TO I HAVE A
QUESTION. SO I'LL ASK MY
QUESTION AND THEN I'LL TURN IT
TO THE SENATOR. SO I THINK I WAS
ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO WAS
CONCERNED ABOUT THE ABILITY FOR
FOLKS TO COMPLY. AS A FORMER
REGULATORY LAWYER, THAT MADE
COMPLIANCE PROGRAMS, I KNOW WHEN
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPLY.
LAWYERS SAY, WELL, LET'S DO OUR
BEST AND SEE HOW THIS GOES. AND
I, I DON'T THINK THAT LEADS TO
THE BEST OUTCOMES. SO ALTHOUGH
I'VE ALWAYS AGREED WITH THE GOAL
OF THIS, I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE
IMPLEMENTABLE IN A MEANINGFUL
WAY THAT GETS US MEANINGFUL
INFORMATION. I DID THINK THERE
WAS GOING TO BE MORE MEANINGFUL,
CLEANUP THAN THIS WHEN IT PASSED
LAST YEAR. I WILL SPEAK FOR
MYSELF, TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT
THE INFORMATION WE WERE GETTING
WAS MEANINGFUL TO US. AND SO I
WILL SAY THAT I'M GOING TO
SUPPORT THIS TODAY, BUT I DO
THINK IT SHOULD BE AN ONGOING
CONVERSATION. AND WITH THAT,
I'LL TURN IT BACK OVER TO YOU,
SENATOR. YEAH. I JUST JUST TO BE
CLEAR, I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS
WAS A VERY, VERY HARD FOUGHT
BILL, AND THE OPPOSITION TO THE
BILL HAS NEVER QUITE GOTTEN OVER
THAT. THE BILL PASSED AND WAS
SIGNED INTO LAW, AND SO I
UNDERSTAND THAT THE, THE CHAMBER
WOULD LIKE TO SEE ALL SORTS OF
CHANGES TO SB 253, THEY WANT TO
HAVE, LONG DELAYS TO ALL THE
DEADLINES, INCLUDING DISCLOSURE,
WHICH IF THIS LEGISLATURE WERE
TO DO THAT, WOULD SEND A
PROFOUNDLY TOXIC MESSAGE THAT
THE BILL WAS NEVER ACTUALLY
GOING TO BE IMPLEMENTED, BECAUSE
IN TWO YEARS WE WOULD GET
ANOTHER REQUEST FOR DELAY. AND
ANOTHER REQUEST, THEY ALSO WOULD
LIKE US, INSTEAD OF REQUIRING
THE ACTUAL GOLD STANDARD OF
DISCLOSURE, TO LITERALLY LET
COMPANIES DECIDE WHAT DISCLOSURE
THEY WANT TO DO, WHAT WHAT
STANDARD THEY WANT TO USE. YOU
CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE PROBLEMS
THAT THAT WOULD CREATE. BUT I
ALSO WANT TO BE CLEAR WHEN WE
WHEN THIS BILL WAS PENDING IN
THE SENATE AND THE ASSEMBLY, AT
NO POINT DID I SAY, I PROMISE
WE'RE GOING TO DO CLEANUP IF
CLEANUP IS NECESSARY ON ANY LAW,
WE DO IT. I WAS NOT A COMMITMENT
THAT I MADE THAT WE'RE GOING TO
CHANGE THIS LAW LATER. WHAT
HAPPENED WAS WHEN THE GOVERNOR
SIGNED THE LAW, HE SAID AT THE
TIME, THE BILL NEEDS CLEANUP.
THAT'S WHAT THE GOVERNOR SAID.
AND SO WE IMMEDIATELY SAID,
OKAY, TELL US THE CLEANUP. YOU
WANT. AND THEY EVENTUALLY CAME
TO US WITH THE TECH, WITH SOME
TECHNICAL CHANGES, WHICH WE'VE
INCLUDED IN THIS BILL, EVEN
THOUGH CARB COULD HAVE STARTED
WITH ITS REGULATORY PROCESS LAST
FALL WHEN THE GOVERNOR SIGNED
IT, THEY COULD HAVE AT LEAST
STARTED PUTTING STUFF IN PLACE.
HERE WE ARE A YEAR LATER, AND
THEY'RE DUE ON JANUARY FIRST,
WE'RE NOW ASKING FOR ANOTHER SIX
MONTHS, BUT LONGER THAN THAT
WOULD ABSOLUTELY, LIKE, DELAY
THE ACTUAL DISCLOSURES, WHICH
WOULD BE VERY BAD. I
RESPECTFULLY, I THINK THAT THIS
BILL IS THIS LAW IS FULLY
IMPLEMENTABLE, THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION WENT TO HELL AND
BACK THE SEC DID, IN TRYING TO
COME UP WITH A RULE ON THIS AND
THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY WAS VERY,
VERY EFFECTIVE. AND BEATING THAT
BACK. AND SO THEY ENDED UP NOT
USING SCOPE THREE. SCOPE THREE
IS 90% OF CARBON EMISSIONS FOR
MANY COMPANIES. SO I AM SO
GRATEFUL TO THIS COMMITTEE FOR
PASSING SB 253 LAST YEAR. THANK
YOU. AND TO THE ASSEMBLY AND THE
SENATE FOR PASSING AND THE
GOVERNOR FOR SIGNING IT. AND
WHAT WE HAVE BEFORE US TODAY IS
SOME, I THINK, VERY SMART
CLEANUP AND I AND I WON'T ASK
FOR AN AYE VOTE YET BECAUSE
WE'RE NOT DONE. I THINK YOU
SHOULD ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE, ANY
OTHER COMMENTS FROM COMMITTEE
MEMBERS? WOULD YOU LIKE THAT TO
BE YOUR CLOSE SENATOR? YES.
WE'VE GOT A BIPARTISAN MOTION IN
THE SENATE, AND THOSE MIGHT BE
YOUR LAST COMMENTS ON THIS
COMMITTEE. WE WILL MISS YOU, MR.
