California’s Local Environmental Choice and Safety Act, CA Assembly Bill 3233 (#AB3233 Addis) passed by 8 votes to 3 in Assembly Natural Resources Committee on April 8, 2024.
April 17th is the bill’s next hearing, in the Utilities and Energy Committee. It’s likely to be a closer vote and legislators will need to see support! If you’re a California resident, please call 1, 2, 3, or even all of the legislators on the committee list https://autl.assembly.ca.gov/members and urge them to Vote YES on AB 3233.
Why have Bicycling #Monterey https://bikemonterey.org/californias-local-environmental-choice-and-safety-act-ab-3233.html, Climate Reality Project #MontereyBay, and so many others expressed support for #AB3233? Oil companies are undermining the rights of #LocalGovernments to protect their communities from #oil and #gas #pollution. This bill reaffirms the rights of cities and counties to restrict oil and gas production in their area. It will protect #PublicHealth, our #climate, and local #democracy.
