Summary

The bill amends the Public Resources Code so that California’s Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission must include a review of the human‑rights records of countries that supply the state with oil, and calculate how much in‑state oil production would be needed to stop importing from those countries. It also asks the commission to identify state laws that limit domestic oil production. The change adds new transparency and policy considerations to the regular three‑year fuel supply assessment.
