SB-32 does not state how

SB-32 requires CARB to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 40% below the 1990 levels by 2030.

Critics of SB-32 note that CARB has too much un-checked power in regulating

Governor Brown on the same day as SB-32, September 8, 2016. AB-197 is directly related to SB-32 in that AB-197 contains language stating AB-197 is only operative if SB-32 is enacted and becomes law on or before January 1, 2017.
