AI Summary

  • Modifies the annual greenhouse gas emissions report deadline from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), changing the reporting period from the previous calendar year to two calendar years prior, aligning with the U.S. EPA's statewide inventory schedule

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

  • Removes specific Iowa Administrative Code chapter references (567 IAC ch. 22) for 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 producers, coordinate with EPA, and maintain a voluntary greenhouse gas registry, as federal regulations now cover these requirements
