AB 2251 (Celeste Rodriguez) Student financial aid: Cal Grant Program: cost of attendance. Seeks to ensure that California students can fully access the financial aid they are eligible for.

Coalition Organizer/Contact: John Burton Advocates For Youth
AB 2461 (Hart) Polluters Pay Well Cleanup bill. Expands current bonding requirements for a person who acquires the right to control a well or production facility. Without these safeguards, the State, and ultimately taxpayers, could be left responsible for billions of dollars in costs associated with plugging, abandonment, and decommissioning oil wells and facilities. Coalition Organizer/Contact: The Climate Center
SB 982 (Wiener) Insurance Affordability Campaign. Permits the Attorney General to bring a civil action against fossil fuel companies that meet specified criteria, to recover damages on behalf of policyholders and the FAIR Plan Association (FAIR Plan), that were caused by climate events that resulted from, or worsened by, climate change. Prohibits a fossil fuel company from passing on the costs of the civil action, including any remedies ordered, to the people of California. Creates a fund to into which any damages won will be deposited, and lays down rankings of how such funds should be utilized. Coalition Organizer/Contact: California Environmental Voters
SB 1091 (Caballero) Community Anti-Displacement and Preservation Program. SB 1091 would establish the Community Anti-Displacement and Preservation Program (CAPP) to fund the acquisition and rehabilitation of unrestricted housing developments of five or more units, and attach affordability restrictions on those units, while safeguarding against the displacement of current residents. Coalition Organizer/Contact: CA Green New Deal Coalition (Priority Bill)
SB 1259 (Blakespear) Refineries: decommissioning and remediation. Currently, refineries are not required to plan for or fund their end of life. Little public information is available about what is needed for cleaning up contamination when a refinery closes. SB 1259 would increase transparency by requiring oil refineries to submit decommissioning and remediation plans, including estimated costs. This information provides a starting point to ensure oil companies don't leave communities paying the bill for cleaning up contaminated land. Coalition Organizer/Contact: CA Green New Deal Coalition (Priority Bill)
SB 1282 (Becker) Establishes standards for grid-integrated vehicle technologies. This bill requires the California Energy Commission (CEC) to complete an assessment by December 31, 2028, on electricity supply, reliability, and cost issues associated with meeting California’s renewable portfolio standard (RPS) and zero-carbon procurement goals and potential for grid-integrated vehicle charging to address those supply, reliability, and cost concerns. Coalition Organizer/Contact: Union of Concerned Scientists
The CARE Fund (Pérez) State Budget Request – $301.5 Million for the Community Aid for Rebuilding and Equity (CARE) Fund. The CARE Fund is designed to support community‑wide recovery by stabilizing homeowners facing financial barriers to rebuilding, rebuilding affordable housing and providing remediation to ensure a safe return.
