SB 13: Oil and gas.
The bill aims to increase transparency and accountability in the oil and gas industry. It requires the state energy commission to monitor foreign countries that export oil to California and identify those with human rights abuses and lower environmental standards. The bill also requires the state air resources board to produce an annual assessment of greenhouse gas emissions associated with oil transportation and post the data on its website. Additionally, the bill prohibits the use of electric ratepayer funds for implementing these requirements and requires the state board to post a report on the air quality impact of potentially importing a significant portion of the state's gasoline supply using tanker ships.
