The California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 designates the State Air Resources Board as the state agency charged with monitoring and regulating sources of emissions of greenhouse gases. The state board is required to ensure that statewide greenhouse gas emissions are reduced to at least 40% below the 1990 level by 2030. The act authorizes the state board to include the use of market-based compliance mechanisms in regulating greenhouse gas emissions. The act, until January 1, 2031, authorizes a covered entity to meet a certain percentage of its compliance obligation under the act by surrendering offset credits of which no more than 12 may be sourced from projects that do not provide direct environmental benefits in the state. This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to enact subsequent legislation limiting the use of offset credits under the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006.

The California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 designates the State Air Resources Board as the state agency charged with monitoring and regulating sources of emissions of greenhouse gases. Existing law requires the state board to adopt greenhouse gas emissions limits and emissions reduction measures by regulation to achieve the maximum technologically feasible and cost-effective reductions in greenhouse gas emissions in furtherance of achieving a specified statewide greenhouse gas emissions limit. This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to enact future legislation that would create a carbon tax and dividend program that would impose charges on entities responsible for air pollution emissions and allocate the revenue from those charges to frontline communities that suffer from the air pollution caused by those emissions.

Existing law prohibits, until January 1, 2030, an owner of residential real property from terminating the tenancy of certain tenants without just cause, either at-fault or no-fault of the tenant. Under existing law, "residential real property" means any dwelling or unit that is intended for human habitation, including any dwelling or unit in a mobilehome park. Existing law establishes specific provisions applicable to the termination of a tenancy in a mobilehome. Existing law also imposes certain rental rate increase restrictions on any person having the right to offer residential real property for rent, including an owner or operator of any dwelling or unit in a mobilehome park. This bill would state the intent of the Legislature, in subsequent amendments, to amend existing tenancy and rental rate increase protections for tenants applicable to mobilehome parks.

Existing law creates the Clean Transportation Program, which provides funding for various projects to help obtain the state's climate change policies, including funding for workforce training programs to transition dislocated workers affected by the state's greenhouse gas emission policies. This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to subsequently amend this bill to include provisions that would establish the California Equitable Just Transition Fund to assist fossil fuel-dependent workers with wage replacement, wage insurance, pension guarantees, health care, retraining, peer counseling, and relocation support for fossil fuel workers who face layoffs due to closure of operations.
