poppiesAB 32 Implementation Group
Our coalition represents large and small businesses that are vital to California’s economy and that provide hundreds of thousands of jobs.

Our Mission is to be a constructive voice in the process to implement AB 32 (The Global Warming Solutions Act) and ensure that the greenhouse gas emission reductions required are achieved while maintaining the competitiveness of California businesses and protecting the interests of consumers and workers.

AB 32 should be implemented consistent with these Eight Principles:

1. Provide Regulatory Certainty
2. Adopt Policies that Keep Jobs in California and Achieve

     Global Emission Reductions (Leakage)
3. Use Sound Scientific Methods of Review
4. Impose Only Cost-Effective & Technologically Feasible Regulations
5. Promote Innovation and Market-Based Strategies
6. Minimize and Fairly Allocate Compliance Costs
7. Link to Regional and National Climate Policy Initiatives
8. Coordinate AB 32 with Existing Air and Environmental Quality Standards
