Written by a model from the explanatory memorandum; not the record, as at 2018-10-22.
The bill would force the government to publish quarterly greenhouse gas emissions data on time after past delays.
The department secretary must give the minister a report within 5 months of each quarter's end, and the minister must table it in Parliament within 15 sitting days before it goes online.
Each report must cover national emissions for the quarter and the year to date, broken down by sector, and follow international guidelines like those from the IPCC.
