A California bill designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions would require big companies to verify and report emissions yearly, which critics say would hamper development and negatively impact the building industry.

Senate Bill 253, authored by Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) and currently under consideration by the Assembly Appropriations Committee, would establish the Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act under the California Global Warming Solutions Act—passed in 2006 to limit greenhouse gas emissions.
