"Californians expect us to stabilize gas prices - we cannot keep asking people to accept sky-high prices at the pump. This committee will be essential to delivering real results, both during the special session and in preparation for next legislative year. I look forward to leading public hearings and working with my colleagues to address skyrocketing costs, stabilize prices and bring relief to Californians' pocketbooks," committee chair Assemblymember Cottie Petrie-Norris said.
This week during special session, Speaker Rivas took quick action to announceAssemblymember Cecilia Aguiar-Curry (D-Winters) and Assemblymember Gregg Hart's (D-Santa Barbara) introduction of Assembly Bill x2-1, which would increase crude oil and fuel capacity with the ultimate goal of lessening the spikes in the prices Californians pay at the pump.
Principal co-authors of AB x2-1 include Assembly members Dawn Addis (D-Morro Bay), Steve Bennett (D-Oxnard), Isaac Bryan (D-Los Angeles), Corey Jackson (D-Riverside), Ash Kalra (D-San Jose), Alex Lee (D-San Jose), Jim Wood (D-Healdsburg).
