Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday unveiled an outline of his plan to place a cap on oil refinery profits in California, a proposal he’s asking lawmakers to approve in hopes of reducing future spikes on gasoline prices.
“After so many months of talking about this, we would have thought the governor would have had more details on this windfall profits tax,” said Kevin Slagle, a spokesperson for the WSPA. “To open it up and see no details on thresholds or what this penalty is and looks like and no details on the transparency side of things, it makes us wonder if this is a real public policy discussion or more of the politics we’ve seen from this governor.
The governor’s proposal also calls for new regulatory review and oversight, giving the Energy Commission expanded authority to investigate supply and price issues. Though the two sessions run concurrently, any legislation passed within the parameters of the special session can take effect 90 days after adjournment. Bills approved in regular session generally do not become law until the start of next calendar year. In the special session, legislative leaders also have an opportunity to craft unique rosters of lawmakers for committees that could make it easier to approve controversial new bills.
