What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires the Public Service Commission to consider the social cost of
carbon in determining whether to issue certificates required to construct large
electric generating facilities or high-voltage transmission lines or to engage in
certain other public utility projects. The bill defines “social cost of carbon” as the
social cost of carbon estimated in a technical support document prepared by the
federal Interagency Working Group on Social Cost of Greenhouse Gases for the use
of federal agencies in preparing regulatory impact analyses.
