I'm disappointed to share the news that I had to pull #AB1897, my bill to increase penalties for oil refineries that violate air quality laws, after changes made by the Sen. Appropriations Committee weakened the maximum penalties for polluters. (1/2) https://t.co/CMUEipC4ef

We are one step closer to increasing penalties for refineries that violate air quality rules. We’ve had too many instances where harmful pollutants have been released into our communities. #AB1897 is also on to the Senate Floor!

#AB1897 passed the Senate Environmental Quality committee last week, with the two GOP members voting no or abstaining. Now expected to be heard by Senate Judiciary today, where (I predict) it's more likely than not to pass. https://t.co/lm88I3NNfF

NEW: An under-the-radar bill in the #caleg would finally raise penalties for oil and gas refinery pollution after years of rising violations. But can @CASenateDems overcome opposition from @OfficialWSPA? https://t.co/4QU9n6Tttq

Regulators say #AB1897 is necessary amid a yearslong increase in pollution violations. However, residents who live near polluting refineries say it’s not enough. Democrats in the California Senate could make or break the refinery pollution bill. https://t.co/2KbTTBqCuu

Legislation supported by air regulators in Los Angeles and the Bay Area would increase fines for oil and gas refineries that emit excessive pollution, but #AB1897 has proven controversial and faces fierce opposition by a powerful oil and gas lobby group. https://t.co/2KbTTBqCuu

8— #AB1897 increases penalties for refineries that violate air quality rules. We’ve had far too many instances where harmful pollutants have been released into our communities. This bill will help protect our communities from exposure to toxic contaminants.

Big Oil can’t keep polluting our communities. Taking environmental justice seriously includes creating deterrents for corporate polluters who act as if they’re above the law. #AB1897 is a step toward accountability.

NEW: @BuffyWicks is proposing an increase in penalties for refineries that violate air quality regulations. Her bill - set to be unveiled today - would increase the fine limits for many violations from $10K to $30K. The proposal is sponsored by the @AirDistrict. @KQEDnews

As compliance with air quality permit conditions at Bay Area refineries has declined precipitously in recent years, the Air District is sponsoring #AB1897, a bill introduced by Assemblymember @BuffyWicks to increase penalties for refinery violations of air quality regulations.
