Senator Shannon Grove of Bakersfield has expressed her opposition to Assembly Bill X2-1, which recently passed the Senate Floor. The bill, backed by Governor Newsom, proposes that state bureaucrats could require refineries to maintain a minimum level of gasoline reserves or face penalties up to one million dollars per day. According to Senator Grove, this measure will lead to increased gasoline costs and potential shortages as refineries focus on meeting reserve requirements.
