Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.

Lubricant suppliers get simpler exemption rules

Beginning January 1, 2027, covered lubricant suppliers can use the Climate Commitment Act exemption without an extra proof requirement. They do not need to prove to Washington’s Department of Ecology that the lubricant is not burned or oxidized.

Fuel sellers face tighter compliance rules

Ecology must require emissions reports from sellers of specified fossil fuels in Washington. Reporting starts at the lower of 10,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent or the applicable coverage threshold, including one Ecology sets by rule. Beginning January 1, 2027, sellers of gasoline, diesel, biodiesel, or propane must meet an added requirement for state or municipal contracts. They must register with Ecology as a covered entity or a voluntary opt-in entity. Alternatively, they must document that they bought the fuel from a registered covered or opt-in entity that covers its emissions.
