California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006: Low-Carbon Fuel Standard regulations.

The California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 establishes the State Air Resources Board as the state agency responsible for monitoring and regulating sources emitting greenhouse gases. The act requires the state board to approve a statewide greenhouse gas emissions limit equivalent to the statewide greenhouse gas emissions level in 1990 to be achieved by 2020 and to ensure that statewide greenhouse gas emissions are reduced to at least 40% below the 1990 level by 2030. Pursuant to the act, the state board has adopted the Low-Carbon Fuel Standard regulations. This bill would require the state board to amend the Low-Carbon Fuel Standard regulations to consider the attainment of standards under the federal Clean Air Act, consider specified climate goals, complement existing oxides of nitrogen reductions programs to ensure value-added support to meet 2023 and 2031 federal nonattainment deadlines, and apply performance-based metrics.
