California Contractor Climate Transparency Act.

Summary

The bill adds a new section to the Health and Safety Code that obligates large contractors (those with over $25 million in state contracts) and significant contractors ($5‑$25 million) to file yearly reports on their greenhouse‑gas emissions and, for the larger firms, on climate‑related financial risk. The reports must follow rules the state board will set after existing climate‑data laws take effect. This aims to increase transparency about the climate impact of companies that do business with the state.
