S 628 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Authorizes regulation of greenhouse gas emissions under "Air Pollution Control Act (1954)" and "Global Warming Response Act."

This bill authorizes New Jersey to regulate greenhouse gas emissions under the existing Air Pollution Control Act and Global Warming Response Act. It directly affects large industrial facilities (defined as "major facilities" emitting over specific thresholds like 100 tons/year of carbon monoxide or 10 tons/year of hazardous pollutants) by requiring them to report emissions annually and pay emission fees. Key provisions include setting statewide emission limits based on the 2007 Global Warming Response Act, mandating annual emission statements, and defining "greenhouse gas" consistently with prior law. The bill creates a framework for tracking and fees but does not establish new emission targets or penalties beyond existing regulatory mechanisms.
