Yesterday, my bill to require oil companies to clean up dangerous oil wells passed out of the Assembly. AB 1866 will require oil operators to plug over 40,000 idle oil wells, especially those close to our neighborhoods and schools. #CALeg

📢 #AB3233 passes the Assembly‼️ This bill defends local democracy and affirms the rights of cities & counties to protect their communities from oil & gas pollution. Thank you Assemblymember Dawn Addis for championing this bill. #BigOilBackOff
