The bill has support from both parties and focuses on guidance rather than new mandates, which helps its chances. However, climate related bills often face delays in a divided Congress.

Key Points

This bill asks the EPA to create a clear set of rules for how large companies track greenhouse gas emissions that happen outside their own walls. These are called scope 3 emissions, which come from a company's suppliers or from customers using their products.
The EPA would have one year to finish a study and release official guidance. This guidance would help businesses understand when they should report these emissions and what math they should use to get the numbers right.
The goal is to make reporting more consistent across different industries. Currently, many companies track these numbers differently, which makes it hard for the public and investors to compare how much pollution different businesses are responsible for.
This policy mainly affects direct emitters, which are usually large industrial facilities that already report their own pollution to the government. It does not create new laws or mandates yet, but it sets the stage for future reporting standards.
