Exempting emissions associated with lubricants from coverage under the cap and invest program.

Summary

The legislation revises RCW 70A.65.080 to alter the definition of a “covered entity” and the emission thresholds that trigger participation in the state’s cap‑and‑invest program. By adjusting those thresholds, the bill would carve out emissions associated with lubricants so they are not counted toward a facility’s compliance obligations. The changes affect large emitters, utilities, fuel suppliers and other entities that currently report greenhouse‑gas emissions under the program.
