Summary
Updates AB 1757 (C. Garcia, Chapter 341, Statutes of 2022) by removing language that made natural and working lands emissions reduction projects and actions that receive state funding ineligible to generate credits under a market-based compliance mechanism and instead requires CARB to ensure that all greenhouse gas emissions reductions and removals used for any market-based compliance mechanism are in addition to any reductions and removals that would otherwise occur.
