Executive Branch Emissions Transparency Act
This bill requires the President, Vice President, and certain political appointees (including senior executive staff, ambassadors, and their non-Foreign Service aides) to report fossil fuel-powered official travel. Officials must submit details like travel routes, mode of transport, distance, estimated carbon emissions, and any emission-reduction actions taken. The Office of Management and Budget will compile this data into a public, searchable database updated monthly, with exceptions for national security risks. The law mandates this reporting to increase transparency about government emissions from travel, without changing emissions standards or requiring new environmental actions.
