Three important bills to hold oil and gas companies accountable for their pollution also passed through their respective committees.

AB 3155 (Friedman) passed, which would make polluters pay for the illnesses they cause to residents living nearby toxic oil and wells.

AB 2256 (Friedman) would get rooftop solar back on track in California by accounting for all of its environmental and societal benefits, and its appropriate costs, when considering how to compensate solar panel owners for the energy they supply to the grid.
