Newsom threatens to call another special session on oil regulation
Briefly

Gov. Gavin Newsom has threatened a special session this fall as he seeks to pass energy bills, aiming to counteract oil interests influencing lawmakers to reject essential proposals.
The energy bill package includes measures to stabilize fuel inventories, offer customer credits for utilities, and expedite environmental reviews, although some critics express concerns over environmental impacts.
Mary Creasman emphasized the need for clean energy development while safeguarding biodiversity, asserting solutions shouldn't be rushed at the last minute without community engagement.
A special session could significantly impact lawmakers' schedules, potentially reducing time with family and hindering election campaigning as they would have to return to Sacramento early.
