California lawmakers OK bills banning certain chemicals in foods and drinks

Associated Press  

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California lawmakers are working through hundreds of bills before the legislative session ends on Thursday. DISCLOSING FINANCIAL RISKS OF CLIMATE CHANGE The state Assembly approved a bill requiring companies making more than $500 million annually to disclose what financial risks climate change poses to their businesses and how they plan to address those risks. The bill was among the biggest climate proposals in the state Legislature this year, collecting support from major companies including IKEA and Microsoft, as well as former California Air Resources Board Chair Mary D. Nichols. The vote comes after the state Legislature sent another bill to Newsom that would require companies making more than $1 billion annually to report their direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions. CLIMATE CHANGE SCHOOL CURRICULUM The Senate passed a bill that would require schools to teach students, from first grade through high school, about the causes and effects of climate change.
