SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Large businesses in California will have to disclose a wide range of planet-warming emissions under a new law Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Saturday — the most sweeping mandate of its kind in the nation.
The law requires more than 5,300 companies that operate in California and make more than $1 billion in annual revenues to report both their direct and indirect emissions. That includes things like emissions from operating a building or store as well as those from activities like employee business travel and transporting their products.
The law, SB 253, will bring more transparency to the public about how big businesses contribute to climate change, and it could nudge them to evaluate how they can reduce their emissions, advocates say. They argue many businesses already disclose some of their emissions to the state.

California big businesses need to report the CO2-exhaling illegal aliens they hire, also noting if their illegals use CO2-related transportation to get to work.
As a side note to this post, on top of California's alleged mismanagement of water resources, illegals also use water in drought-stricken California.
Californians approved billions for new water storage. Why hasn’t it gotten built? (Non-FR; 1.16.23)
I would like to find a way to suggest such laws by states are unconstitutional - (the air is ubiquitous and fungible - not able to be controlled from any one place) - without tresspassing on federalism (i.e. states “rights”).
These businesses should all shut down/ Leave the state.
That was done in Venezuela 20 years ago. The wealthy paid the electric bill for the poor. And the Venezuelan govt would randomly cut the power to the wealthy just for spite.
I WOULD DO BOTH.

California, of course. And yes, quite unconstitutional. But that’s such an esoteric perspective...
Well...I’m in Oregon and the political witches..er... leaders here usually follow California’s every move.
