AB 2744 California Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Oil and gas: chief deputy.

Summary

Existing law establishes the Geologic Energy Management Division in the Department of Conservation, under the direction of the State Oil and Gas Supervisor, who is required to supervise the drilling, operation, maintenance, and abandonment of oil and gas wells, as provided. Existing law divides the state into districts and requires the supervisor to appoint one chief deputy for each of the districts. Existing law requires the chief deputy to be a competent engineer or geologist and experienced in the development and production of oil and gas. This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to the law requiring the chief deputy to be a competent engineer or geologist and experienced in the development and production of oil and gas.

MINOR

No substantive policy changes were made to AB 2744. The diff reflects only a reformatting of the bill text from a clean legislative document into a web-scraped version that includes website navigation elements (menus, search boxes, links) and altered layout. The actual statutory language amending Section 3103 of the Public Resources Code is identical in both versions.

TECHNICAL

The bill text was reformatted from a traditional legislative document layout into a web page format that includes navigation menus, search fields, and website chrome. No changes to the underlying statutory language.
