AB 2608 California Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Energy: transportation fuels assessment.

Summary

Existing law requires the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission, beginning January 1, 2024, and every 3 years thereafter, to submit to the Legislature and the Governor an assessment that, among other things, identifies methods to ensure a reliable supply of affordable and safe transportation fuels in California and evaluates California's future petroleum product and crude oil import needs. This bill would require that the next assessment also assess the human rights record of each country from which California imports oil, the amount of oil production in California that would enable the state to stop importing oil from countries with negative human rights records, and California laws and regulations that prevent domestic oil production, as specified.

MINOR

This diff reflects a reformatting of AB 2608 from a traditional legislative document layout (with line numbers and page headers) to a web page rendering on the California legislature website. The substantive legal text of Section 25371 of the Public Resources Code is unchanged between the two versions. No policy, eligibility, funding, or enforcement changes were made.

TECHNICAL

The bill text was re-published in a different format: from a paginated legislative document with line numbers to a web page layout including navigation menus, search fields, and website chrome elements. The underlying legal content of Section 25371 is identical in both versions.
