Sen. Wiener, two other lawmakers announce bills to increase corporate pollution transparency

State lawmakers will consider a package of legislation this spring intended to increase transparency about corporate pollution and protect state residents from the economic fallout of climate change.

Sens. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, Lena Gonzalez, D-Long Beach and Henry Stern, D-Los Angeles, announced Monday that they have introduced a legislative package that will, among other things, require major companies to publicly report their greenhouse gas emission levels and end pension investments into fossil fuel companies.
