Prohibits DEP and other State agencies from adopting certain rules and regulations without Legislative approval.

Summary

The measure requires the Department of Environmental Protection to adopt a statewide greenhouse‑gas monitoring and reporting program within 18 months, but prohibits the DEP and any other state agency from adopting climate‑change regulations that exceed the scope of the Global Warming Response Act unless the Legislature approves them. It targets rules related to flood‑hazard areas, coastal‑development permits, and other climate‑based policies. The intent is to keep climate regulation under legislative control and limit regulatory burdens on businesses and residents.
