Governor Gavin Newsom emphasized the need for California to act immediately to prevent future gas price spikes, attributing current spikes to profit motives of oil companies.
California's gas prices, averaging $4.64 per gallon, are significantly higher than the national average of $3.33, putting pressure on lawmakers to find solutions.
The call for a special session on gas prices has revealed divisions among California Democrats, with some advocating for more time to deliberate the proposals.
Senate President Mike McGuire indicated that the Senate would not participate in a special session this fall, preferring to continue discussions at a later date.
