California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006.

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 defines specified terms, including, among others, district to mean an air pollution control or an air quality management district until January 1, 2031. This bill would indefinitely define district to mean an air pollution control or an air quality management district. Existing law requires the state board, to the extent feasible and necessary, to inventory sources of air pollution within the air basins of the state and to determine the kinds and quantity of air pollutants, including, among others, the contribution of natural sources. This bill would specify that the contribution of natural sources includes contribution from catastrophic wildfires, as defined. The bill would require the state board, beginning January 1, 2022, to quantify and publish annually data on emissions of greenhouse gases, criteria air pollutants, and toxic air contaminants from catastrophic wildfires on its internet website.
