In the latest setback for the oil industry in California, Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday signed a new law that allows cities, counties, and local voters to block construction of new oil and gas wells in their communities.
The bill, AB 3233, by Assemblywoman Dawn Addis, D-Monterey, which the industry staunchly opposed, overturns a state Supreme Court ruling from last fall.
