The council is responsible for submitting a proposal to the Governor and General Assembly by January 1, 2008 that includes the following:
- After consideration of a full range of policies and strategies, including the cost-effectiveness of the strategies, the council shall develop multiple scenarios designed to reduce statewide greenhouse gas emissions, including one scenario that would reduce such emissions by fifty percent by 2050.
- The council shall also develop short-term, medium-term, and long-term scenarios designed to reduce statewide greenhouse gas emissions and shall consider the cost-effectiveness of the scenarios.
- The council shall establish a baseline year for purposes of calculating reductions in statewide greenhouse gas emissions
