Governor Gavin Newsom is considering calling a special legislative session this fall to focus on proposed new oil and gas regulations. Details are not clear yet, but reports suggest the idea has been pitched to Senate Pro Tem Mike McGuire and Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas. Democratic lawmakers are discussing the request. In early 2023, Newsom called for a special meeting and a new law was passed that gives regulators the authority to impose financial penalties on fuel companies if they overcharge California drivers.
