Tell Governor Newsom to Veto AB 1122, AB 1296, AB 637 and AB 3179!
Read our letters to Governor Newsom urging him to veto attacks on the ACF and CHC rules:
Governor Newsom has until September 30th to veto these dangerous bills and safeguard the life-saving progress we’ve made. It’s the right thing to do!
Decades of public health improvements, business investments and clean air progress could be wiped out if the governor signs these bills. Each bill introduces unnecessary delays, conditions, and exceptions to the ACF and CHC standards that would weaken California’s ability to combat the diesel pollution crisis.
If signed, they would collectively force the recall of Clean Air Act waiver requests already in process with the Environmental Protection Agency potentially putting that decision into the hands of a hostile federal administration in 2025. Once the landmark ACF and CHC standards are opened up for revision, they instantly become vulnerable to further degradation as lobbyists demand additional exemptions, concessions, and delays.
Communities and businesses alike are banking on the certainty that these standards will be implemented as they were designed. If signed, these bills will shatter investors’ expectations, jeopardize public-private partnerships, and destabilize investments made in California’s world-leading clean transportation industry. We must continue to send clear market signals that will jump-start even greater investments and faster job growth.
