States require companies to report greenhouse gas emissions as federal regulators step back

States led by Democratic governors and legislatures are stepping into the regulatory vacuum created when the Securities and Exchange Commission backed away from supporting its climate-related disclosure rule in the face of legal challenges earlier this year.
