AB 2712: Oil and gas: notices of intention: health protection zones: new wells.
What AB 2712 does, verified March 24, 2026
The bill aims to amend existing laws related to oil and gas operations in California. It would limit the prohibition on the division's approval of notices of intention within health protection zones to new wells only, allowing existing wells to be drilled or modified without restrictions. The bill would also repeal the prohibition on the construction or operation of new production facilities in health protection zones. Additionally, it would modify the requirements for submitting sensitive receptor information, only requiring operators of new wells to provide this information. Finally, the bill would limit the bonding requirements for wells drilled within health protection zones to only those approved to comply with a court order.
