AB 2752: Bay Area Air Quality Management District and South Coast Air Quality Management District: policies: oil refineries.
The bill aims to amend air pollution regulations for the Bay Area and South Coast air quality management districts. It requires these districts to analyze and minimize potential impacts on consumers, state and local tax revenue, refinery employment, and the statewide gasoline supply by 2027 and 2028, respectively. The bill also expands the definition of "socioeconomic impact" to include these additional factors and requires districts to actively consider and minimize adverse impacts before adopting or changing rules related to oil refineries. Additionally, the bill establishes a special statute for the districts and provides for reimbursement of mandated costs to local agencies and school districts.
