California Senate committee advances bill to slow Oakland coal export terminal
The California Senate Environmental Quality Committee voted 4-2 to pass Assemblymember Mia Bonta's AB 40, a bill that would impose new environmental review requirements on a controversial coal export terminal project in Oakland. The project, which has support from the Trump administration, faced renewed momentum after President Trump invoked the Defense Production Act in June to allow federal funding. The gut-and-amend bill was introduced specifically to slow down the coal terminal proposal.
