Summary

The Senate enacted SB 1428 to fix cross‑references and clarify several existing statutes. It adjusts the timeline for converting idle oil wells to gravity‑based energy storage, refines the definition of the Wildfire and Forest Resilience Task Force, tightens California’s ballast‑water regulations, and sets conditions for the Port of Oakland to lease after‑acquired lands in Jack London Square. The changes aim to improve energy storage pilots, protect marine ecosystems, support wildfire resilience planning, and ensure public‑trust values in waterfront development.
