Electric school buses, pesticides and oil wells: New environmental laws coming to California

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:52:34 GMT

Gov. Gavin Newsom gained widespread attention Saturday for signing a first-in-the-nation law to require corporations doing business in California to add up how many tons of greenhouse gases they emit each year, and make the information public.The new law will affect roughly 5,300 businesses with more than $1 billion a year in sales — including companies like McDonald’s, Walmart, Chevron and Home Depot.

In doing so, he won accolades from environmental groups, and disappointment from some industries, including oil and agriculture.The main new environm...
