(Full post) 🎉 Today (9/25/2024), CA Governor, Gavin Newsom, officially signed AB 1866, AB 3233, and AB 2716 into law!
These bills will hold the oil industry accountable and protect frontline communities like Wilmington and many others across California from dangerous pollution. No one should have to live next to oil drilling operations- active or idle!
📌 What these bills will do:
1️⃣AB 1866: Pushes oil companies to plug idle wells faster or face increased fees, safeguarding public health and creating thousands of new jobs.
2️⃣AB 3233: Empowers local governments to defend residents from harmful oil and gas pollution.
3️⃣AB 2716: Imposes fines on low-production wells, holding polluters accountable in the largest urban oil field in the country.
Thank you to the all of our allies who continue to push for a CA that will be better for future generations, free of neighborhood oil drilling! Y’all did this!!
