Background
The California Cap-and-Trade Regulation was formally adopted by
the Board in 2011. In response to Board direction and further
discussions with stakeholders, staff began a public process to
propose amendments for Board consideration in Fall 2013.
On September 6, 2013, Staff released a Notice of Public Hearing
to Consider Amendments to the California Cap on Greenhouse Gas
Emissions and Market-Based Compliance Mechanisms. Following the
45-day comment period, the Board considered the proposed
amendments at its meeting on October 25, 2013. At its October
25, 2013 public hearing, the Board approved Resolution 13-44
directing staff to consider additional modifications to the
proposed amendments to the Cap-and-Trade Regulation as part of a
subsequent 15-day rulemaking package.
Board Resolution 13-44 and Attachment A are posted on the ARB
Cap-and-Trade website at:
