We’ve made it past the Friday deadline for lawmakers to introduce new bills this session, and as expected, their staffers were busy until the final buzzer.
Solar: Assemblymember Laura Friedman has said she plans to amend her AB 2256 to boost rooftop solar by including environmental and societal benefits in the way the CPUC calculates its value.
Oil: One of the highest-profile oil and gas bills that failed to advance last year is back. AB 3155, from Friedman, would hold oil and gas companies legally responsible for certain illnesses contracted within 3,200 feet of a well.
