RESOLVE that the City of Los Angeles include in its 2015-16 State Legislative Program SUPPORT for AB 2756 (Thurmond and Williams), that will:

  2. Allow up to half of penalty revenue to be spent on environmentally beneficial projects in impacted communities.

  3. Authorize DOGGR to immediately shut-in injection projects that pose a risk to groundwater.

  4. Strengthen DOGGR’s investigative authorities to collect information about proposed and ongoing oil and gas projects, and secure witness testimony during investigative hearings.

 

Community Impact Statement:  None submitted.
