Greenhouse gases: work-from-home option.

The California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 designates the State Air Resources Board as the state agency responsible for monitoring and regulating sources of emissions of greenhouse gases that cause global warming to reduce those emissions of greenhouse gases. This bill, upon appropriation by the Legislature, would require the state board to assess the emissions of greenhouse gases resulting from work-from-home options offered by employers of the state and compare that with the reduction in the state's overall emissions of greenhouse gases for the same year. The bill would require that the research include specified minimum parameters, make specified recommendations based upon the research, and be posted on the state board's internet website no later than 4 years after the appropriation for the research.
