The bills were signed into law with great fanfare by California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger last November. This Article focuses on three related topics: the legal, scientific and political developments that gave rise to this important and controversial legislation; the key features of each of the five bills; and the extent to which the legislation represents sound environmental policy and the likelihood that its broad objectives will be realized."
