On or before December 31, 2024, the commission and the State Air Resources Board, taking into account findings of the assessment conducted under Section 25371, shall prepare a Transportation Fuels Transition Plan. The commission and the State Air Resources Board shall determine the contents of the report, but the report shall include, at a minimum, a discussion of how to ensure that the supply of petroleum and alternative transportation fuels is affordable, reliable, equitable, and adequate to meet the demand for those transportation fuels described in the most current scoping plan approved by the State Air Resources Board under § 38561 of the Health and Safety Code. The report shall be prepared in consultation with a multistakeholder, multiagency workgroup convened by the commission, the California Environmental Protection Agency, the Natural Resources Agency, and the State Air Resources Board to identify mechanisms to plan for and monitor progress toward the state’s reliable, safe, equitable, and affordable transition away from petroleum fuels in line with declining instate petroleum demand. The workgroup shall consist of members representing interests that include, but are not limited to, environmental justice, labor, environmental protection, land use, and public health, members representing the state’s fuel producers and refiners, and members representing relevant state, regional, and local agencies. The Division of Petroleum Market Oversight shall provide input to and otherwise support other divisions of the commission in preparation of the plan.

(Amended (as added by Stats. 2023, 1st Ex. Sess., Ch. 1, Sec. 10) by Stats. 2023, Ch. 53, Sec. 4. (SB 124) Effective July 10, 2023.)

Terms Used In California Public Resources Code 25371.3

  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
  • Oversight: Committee review of the activities of a Federal agency or program.
