CARB opens SB 261 public docket for voluntary climate-related financial risk report submissions (submission window through July 1, 2026)

CARB created/maintains a public-facing docket to accept voluntary submissions related to SB 261 climate-related financial risk reports while enforcement of the statutory requirement is enjoined. The docket provides instructions for submitting a company statement and a public URL to the report hosted on the company’s website, and it specifies a submission window of December 1, 2025 through July 1, 2026. This matters for compliance teams because it establishes a CARB intake mechanism and timing expectations for entities choosing to report during the injunction period, and it provides a central location for CARB-referenced support materials (e.g., enforcement advisory, checklist/FAQ) and for tracking what peers are submitting.
