Bill > AB2752

This bill requires the Bay Area Air Quality Management District and the South Coast Air Quality Management District to analyze specific policies impacting oil refineries by December 31, 2027, to determine their cost of compliance, potential cost to consumers, impacts on state and local tax revenue, refinery employment, and the statewide gasoline supply. By January 1, 2028, these districts must make a good faith effort to minimize any identified adverse impacts. Additionally, the bill expands the definition of "socioeconomic impact" for these districts when considering rules related to oil refineries to explicitly include the cost to consumers, impacts on tax revenue, and effects on the statewide gasoline supply, and mandates that they actively consider these factors and strive to minimize adverse consequences before adopting, amending, or repealing such rules. This legislation is deemed necessary due to the significant reduction in the number of oil refineries and the potential for regulations to negatively affect the state's fuel supply.
