Governor proposes multipronged climate change package

Contact: Carl Schroeder, Shannon McClelland

Governor Inslee announced five proposed pieces of climate legislation. He is also directing the Department of Ecology to establish new rules on climate change, including how the state will consider these impacts in major project permitting decisions.

The Governor’s climate-related legislative and budget proposals would:

  • Establish new statewide greenhouse gas emission limits:
    • 45% below 1990 levels by 2030;
    • 70% below 1990 levels by 2040;
    • 95% below 1990 levels; and
    • Net zero emission by 2050.
  • Establish a clean fuel standard (HB 1110)
  • Adopt California emissions standards for zero emission vehicles and light-duty trucks (SB 5811)
  • Establish an emission standard for rideshare fleets
  • Install electric vehicle charging stations at state facilities
  • Extend a tax incentive for community solar projects that benefit low-income customers
