Paving the Way for Green Fuel Mandates at California Seaports

2025 - California Senate

Conservatives Oppose

Description

This bill directs state energy bureaucrats to develop a plan for transitioning seaports to so?called alternative fuels, embedding California's green agenda deeper into the state's infrastructure. It sets the stage for costly mandates that will drive up shipping costs, hurt blue?collar port jobs, and punish fossil fuel use without meaningful environmental benefit. CPAC opposes government-driven green energy schemes that undermine affordable fossil fuel use and opposed this bill. The Senate passed this bill on 2025-06-02 by a vote of 34-0. The Governor vetoed this bill.
