The New Jersey state legislature announced the reintroduction of the Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act (S4117) which requires certain business entities to publicize annual greenhouse gas emissions data. S4117 is sponsored by Senator Bob Smith (D) and Senator John F. Mckeon (D), and co-sponsored by Senator Linda R. Greenstein (D).
The bill is similar to SB 253, California legislation that has passed and is now being formed into law by the California Air Resources Board (CARB), and to the recently reintroduced New York legislation, S9072. The NJ bill was introduced in the Senate and has been referred to the NJ State Senate Environment and Energy Committee.
