AI Summary

  • Changes the Department of Natural Resources' annual greenhouse gas emissions report to cover emissions from two calendar years prior (instead of the previous calendar year), aligning with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's reporting schedule

  • Allows the EPA's annual statewide greenhouse gas inventory, if completed, to satisfy Iowa's state reporting requirement to the governor and general assembly

  • Removes specific Iowa Administrative Code rule references (567 IAC ch. 22) from statutes regarding air emission fees and operating permits to reflect administrative code realignment to 567 IAC ch. 24

  • Eliminates the requirement for the Environmental Protection Commission to adopt rules for certification of solid waste incinerator operators

  • Repeals Section 455B.152, which required DNR to gather greenhouse gas data from emitters, coordinate data collection with EPA, and establish a voluntary greenhouse gas registry, since federal regulations now cover these requirements
