CARB Proposes Deferral of SB 253 GHG Reporting Deadline to November 10, 2026

CARB announced a proposed three-month deferral of the first-year reporting deadline for Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions under the Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act (SB 253). The original August 10, 2026 deadline would be extended to November 10, 2026. This change is proposed as part of a 15-day modification to the Initial Regulation, which was withdrawn from the Office of Administrative Law to make limited clarifying changes. CARB indicated it will use enforcement discretion for good-faith first-year submissions.
