CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2019–2020 REGULAR SESSION

Assembly Bill

No. 353

---

Introduced by Assembly Member Muratsuchi

February 04, 2019

---

An act to amend Section 3150 of the Public Resources Code, relating to oil and gas.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 353, as introduced, Muratsuchi. Oil and gas: definitions: additive.

Under existing law, the Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources in the Department of Conservation regulates the drilling, operation, maintenance, and abandonment of oil and gas wells in the state. Existing law defines various terms for those purposes, including “additive.”

This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to that definition.
