The bill, which encountered strong opposition from some business interests, is headed to Gov. Gavin Newsom.
It garnered letters of support from tech companies such as Apple, Adobe and Microsoft, as well as environmental groups such as the Sierra Club, which praised it for holding polluting corporations accountable.
But it also faced strong opposition from business interests, including the California Chamber of Commerce, the California Hospital Association and the Southern California Gas Co. In an email to NBC News, the Chamber of Commerce said the bill was “a costly mandate that will negatively impact businesses of all sizes in California and will not directly reduce emissions.”
