Bill > AB41

This bill requires the California State Air Resources Board (CARB) to provide public transparency about potential gasoline price increases when proposing new environmental regulations that impact gasoline refiners, distributors, or retailers. Specifically, before adopting or amending any regulation that could impose costs on the gasoline industry, CARB must work with the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission to estimate and publicly disclose the potential impact on retail gasoline prices. The estimate must be made available on CARB's website and must include a "maximum estimated impact" scenario that assumes the highest possible cost to the industry and calculates what would happen if those entire costs were passed directly to consumers. This legislation aims to increase public understanding of how environmental regulations might affect fuel prices, providing greater transparency about potential economic consequences of new air quality and environmental rules. By mandating this detailed public disclosure, the bill seeks to give Californians more insight into the potential financial implications of environmental policy decisions.
