This bill declares that greenhouse gases, which include substances like carbon dioxide and methane, are air pollutants that pose a threat to public health and well-being, aligning with existing state law regarding air quality. It directs state agencies responsible for areas such as air quality, climate change, transportation, energy, and public health to implement and enforce their respective statutes in a way that is consistent with this declaration, to the extent permitted by federal law. The bill clarifies that this action is an assertion of California's existing authority and does not depend on federal government findings, emphasizing that it is an exercise of the state's independent powers under the U.S. Constitution.
