Democratic lawmakers in California introduced a package of climate bills Monday aimed at holding corporations accountable for their greenhouse gas emissions.

The bills include legislation to require companies to disclose their greenhouse gas emissions to the public, ban the state's public pension funds from investing in major fossil fuel companies, and create a group to analyze climate-caused financial risks for corporations. Similar efforts in prior sessions have failed to win enough support, but the Democratic lawmakers behind them say they're hopeful for a different outcome this year.

Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom has pushed policies to wean the state off oil and gas within the next few decades, including by banning the sale of most new gas-powered cars by 2035 and ending the controversial practice of fracking. "We know there are corporations that want to do the right thing, and we want to support them," Wiener said at a news conference Monday.

"We look forward to working with policy makers to enact meaningful policies that protect jobs, encourage innovation and maintain growth," Barrera said.
