No. 759
| Introduced by Senator Hueso |

An act to amend Section 39730.6 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to greenhouse gases.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 759, as introduced, Hueso.
Short-lived climate pollutants: methane: organic waste: landfills.
Existing law requires the State Air Resources Board to complete, approve, and implement a comprehensive strategy to reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants in the state and to achieve a reduction in the statewide emissions of methane by 40%, hydrofluorocarbon gases by 40%, and anthropogenic black carbon by 50% below 2013 levels by 2030, as provided. Existing law requires the methane emissions reduction goals to include specified targets to reduce the landfill disposal of organics.
This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to that latter provision.
