CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE—
2021–2022 REGULAR SESSION
Senate Bill
No. 1319
Introduced by Senator Grove |
February 18, 2022 |
An act relating to oil imports.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 1319, as introduced, Grove.
Oil import restrictions: human rights and environmental standards.
Existing law, the Petroleum Industry Information Reporting Act of 1980, requires refiners, as defined, to report monthly to the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission (Energy Commission), for each of their refineries, specified information, including the origin of petroleum receipts and the source of imports of finished petroleum products.
This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to enact subsequent legislation that would prohibit the import of crude oil into California if the source of the oil is a foreign nation with demonstrated human rights abuses, as documented by the United States Department of State or by human rights organizations, or a foreign nation with environmental standards that are lower than those in California. The bill would express the further intent of the Legislature to enact subsequent
legislation that would require the Energy Commission to monitor foreign countries that export oil and identify on its internet website the countries that are subject to the prohibition.
