CA Climate Disclosure Clock 2026 by ReadyStack

CARB moved the first SB 253 report from 10 August 2026 to 10 November 2026, and is not enforcing the 1 January 2026 SB 261 date. This popup dates your own group and totals the per-entity fees.

• Which of the 2 laws applies — Tests total annual revenue against both statutory thresholds — more than 1000 (USD millions) for SB 253, more than 500 for SB 261 — instead of the California-only revenue figure people reach for first.
• US formation test — SB 253 and SB 261 reach entities formed under the laws of a US state doing business in California. A group whose filing entity is formed outside the United States is told Neither, with the reason.
• The moved SB 253 date — Returns 2026-11-10 — CARB moved the first Scope 1 and Scope 2 report from 10 August 2026 to 10 November 2026 — and the days left from the date you type.
• SB 261 enforcement status — Says plainly that the statutory 2026-01-01 SB 261 date is not being enforced while a Ninth Circuit injunction is on appeal, and that CARB will set an alternate date, so nobody reports to a dead date.
• Per-entity fee total — Multiplies CARB's fees by your count of covered entities: 3 entities at 1,250 (USD millions) of revenue owe 9,318 for SB 253 plus 4,209 for SB 261 = 13,527 in fees, assessed 10 September 2026.
• Scope 3 lead time — Flags that Scope 3 reporting and assurance are anticipated to begin in 2027, so the inventory work is scoped in the same quarter as the first Scope 1 and Scope 2 filing.

When you use the tool, the extension sends one anonymous count a day (the tool’s name only — no inputs, no personal data). Turn it off on the first page after install. Firefox asks first and sends nothing unless you allow it. A licence key is checked with the payment provider (Polar) only when you enter one.
