SB 760

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.
