California Governor Gavin Newsom recently signed into law AB1305, another in the line of bills that reflect California’s efforts to tackle climate change. AB1305 amends California’s Health and Safety Code to require certain disclosures from companies that affect claims such as carbon neutral, net zero, and the like, in reliance on voluntary carbon offsets (VCOs). The law applies to business entities selling VCOs in California; those operating in California and relying on California VCOs for any claims, regardless of where the claims are made; and those operating in California and making VCO claims within the state.
