Bill	Oil and gas: operations: restrictions: local authority.	Existing law requires the State Oil and Gas Supervisor to supervise the drilling, operation, maintenance, and abandonment of wells and the operation, maintenance, and removal or abandonment of tanks and facilities attendant to oil and gas production, so as to prevent damage to life, health, property, and natural resources, as provided; to permit owners and operators of wells to utilize all known methods and practices to increase the ultimate recovery of hydrocarbons; and to perform the supervisor's duties in a manner that encourages the wise development of oil and gas resources to best meet oil and gas needs in this state. Existing California Supreme Court case law holds that these provisions preempt certain local ordinances that ban certain oil production methods, as provided. Existing law provides that the laws relating to oil and gas regulation apply to any land or well situated within the boundaries of an incorporated city in which the drilling of oil wells is now or may hereafter be prohibited, as provided.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20232024	AB 3233	California AB 3233 (20232024)	bill	Oil and gas local authority operations restrictions	enacted	Addis	7	32	11	2024-02-16	2024-09-25	openstates	ocd-bill/ac66f6cb-25b4-4e7e-944e-d3f7387b2c25	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240AB3233	a58696b773183d96c8c28b7490b7fdbfcb6891120f2847383e7c238decb13387	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
