Bill	Oil spills: response and contingency planning.	(1) The Lempert-Keene-Seastrand Oil Spill Prevention and Response Act generally requires the administrator for oil spill response, acting at the direction of the Governor, to implement activities relating to oil spill response, including emergency drills and preparedness, and oil spill containment and cleanup, and to represent the state in any coordinated response efforts with the federal government. Existing law requires the Governor to establish a California oil spill contingency plan that provides for an integrated and effective state procedure to combat the results of major oil spills within the state and that specifies state agencies to implement the plan. Existing law requires the administrator to submit to the Governor and the Legislature an amended California oil spill contingency plan that addresses marine oil spills, by January 1, 1993, and to submit revised plans every 3 years thereafter. Beginning January 1, 2017, and every 3 years thereafter, the administrator is required to submit an amended California oil spill contingency plan that addresses both marine and inland oil spills.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20192020	AB 936	California AB 936 (20192020)	bill	Oil spills: response and contingency planning.	enacted	Robert Rivas	11	37	10	2019-02-20	2019-10-12	openstates	ocd-bill/6a88734f-1213-4d7b-819b-e01b053f46a8	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB936	fd56f1f15f689358e63082f5b9ed189d857b6ec156070acfdbde10697643eec9	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
