2020 California Air Quality and Climate Legislation
This webpage catalogues the most pertinent legislation that CARB's Office of Legislative Affairs tracked during the 2020 Legislative Session. For each bill listed, the table below links to a bill summary page, which includes a brief description of the bill provisions, a link to the full bill text, and, when applicable, the Governor's veto message. The bills can be filtered and sorted by legislative session, bill topic, author, and bill status. The bill status is noted as Chaptered, Vetoed, 2-Year, Dead, or Not Applicable (N/A). “Chaptered” refers to enacted bills, “2-Year” refers to bills that will carry over to the second year of the Legislative Session, and “N/A” refers to bills that initially related to air quality or climate but were subsequently amended to remove provisions of interest to CARB.
