Get ready to pay even MORE at the pump. ⛽️💸
The Democrat majority in Sacramento are pushing SB 1259—a reckless proposal that forces California’s remaining oil refineries to pick arbitrary shutdown dates and guess closure costs.
📈 California already lost 20% of its refining capacity this year alone.
Fewer local refineries = more expensive imported gas.
We already pay the highest gas prices in the nation. We can't afford more cost-driving mandates.
🚨 Contact your lawmaker today and tell them to vote NO on SB 1259!

The decisions made in Sacramento can affect every California driver.
Five bills before the Legislature could make it more difficult for California's remaining refineries to keep operating.
Learn what's at stake and how these proposals could impact fuel costs across our state.

California's fuel supply is becoming more unstable.
With two refineries already closed in the past year, five bills could add more costs, regulations, and uncertainty for California's remaining refineries.
Less fuel made in California means higher costs for California drivers.
