Committee shifts timeline for H 740 data collection, proposes aligning granular data with statewide inventory through 2030
Summary
Committee reviewed changes to H 740 that would align any new granular statewide data collection with the statewide greenhouse‑gas inventory and recommended extending the inventory's sunset to 2030 so rulemaking and data collection can be aligned.
The chair directed members to H 740 in the calendar and explained a committee‑of‑conference change: the new language would avoid collecting granular data out of phase with the statewide greenhouse‑gas inventory. Because the statewide inventory was scheduled to sunset in 2028, the House and conference report proposed pushing that sunset to 2030 so rules adopting data collection could be developed and produce aligned sets of data rather than mismatched 2027 vs. 2028 series.
Members discussed the logic of postponing the sunset to ensure rulemaking and data collection timelines align; the chair framed the change as pragmatic to avoid starting a new data collection cycle in late 2027 that would then be misaligned with a 2028 sunset of the statewide inventory. The committee noted that the change would give a couple of extra years for rule adoption and alignment.
