Last year, California enacted two major pieces of climate legisation, SB 253 and SB 261 (See https://mcalan.com/momentous-california-climate-accountability-laws-await-governors-signature.) However, in January Governor Newsome’s proposed 2024-2025 budget did not include funding for their enforcement. That led to consternation and questioning by many environmentalists of the Governor’s commitment to those laws and indeed to the cause of halting climate change.
