Two bills will start to impact California’s manufacturers in 2026.
SB 253, the Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act
SB 253 requires all U.S. businesses with annual revenues over $1 billion and operating in California to disclose their greenhouse gas emissions. Starting in 2026, businesses must report Scope 1 (direct) and Scope 2 (indirect) emissions, and by 2027, Scope 3 (upstream and downstream) emissions.
SB 261, the Greenhouse Gases: Climate-Related Financial Risk Act
SB 261 will require companies with more than $500 million in annual revenues to disclose their climate-related financial risks and measures they have adopted to reduce and adapt to those risks. The law requires companies to prepare their reports following the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework, with the first disclosures due in 2026.
