SACRAMENTO – Tomorrow, ahead of the first committee hearing of the special session on Governor Gavin Newsom’s refinery mandate, Assembly Republicans will hold a press conference to discuss their proposals aimed at lowering gas prices and providing Californians with immediate relief at the pump.
Newsom called the special session after not securing approval for a last-minute proposal to add storage regulations on refineries.
