Surprising Environmental Wins Followed by Unexpected Losses

The legislative year began with surprises and ended with surprises in 2016. And once the surprises were over, it was business as usu-al, with the oil and gas industry once again wielding an outsize level of power in the Capitol Building. Nobody anticipated the giant methane gas leak at an un-derground gas storage facility in northern Los Angeles County that began in October 2015 and wasn’t finally stopped until Feb-ruary 2016. But the incident opened an unexpected chance to improve regulatory oversight of gas pipes and gas storage facili-ties. By early May—in the Capitol equivalent of lightning speed—the legislature had passed and the governor had signed emergency legislation, Senate Bill 380, by Senator Fran Pavley to address regulatory changes needed to protect the public—and the environment—from future leaks.

SB 32 and AB 197 Then, in August, a bill that appeared to have no life left, Senate Bill 32, was surprisingly reborn and the environment scored another big win. Pavley pushed Senate Bill 32 to codify goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and to make it clear that the California Legisla-ture’s commitment to addressing climate disruption remains firm. The Assembly’s Moderate Cau-cus killed the bill last year after heavy oil industry opposition surfaced. This year, Pavley joined her bill to a bill the more independent members of the Moderate Caucus found hard to resist, Assembly Bill 197 by Assembly member Eduardo Garcia. AB 197 opened the way for more involvement by the legislature in regulatory decision making on climate change. Because the two bills were joined, both needed to be signed into law before either could take effect. In essence, the two-bill package laid out to members that if they wanted more involve-ment in climate policy regulations, they would have to vote to continue effective climate policy. The package cleared the legislature on August 24, seven days before the legislature was set to adjourn. The passage was a great achievement worth celebrating. However, it also seemed to unleash the oil and gas in-dustry’s lobbyists.

Other Bills Torpedoed in the Final Week During the last week of the legislative session, the oil and gas industry torpedoed important environ-mental bills that previously seemed likely to pass.

Spotlight on an As-sembly Voting Practice

One way to amuse oneself during the voting process at the leg-islature is to see how long it takes for some legislators to decide how to vote. On big bills that have been heavily lobbied by interests on op-posing sides, and that have drawn media attention, there’s often a group of legislators who wait until a bill clears the needed number of votes to pass or fail before they cast their vote. In the Assembly, legislators are allowed to add on or change their vote after a measure has passed and the voting has closed, as long as the change or addition doesn’t change the ultimate outcome for the measure. Once the additions or changes have been made, the vote is closed again, and that becomes the official record.

Climate Policy Votes Voting on Senate Bill 32, the main bill on climate policy this year, provides a glimpse into that uncom-fortable period of indecision. We were in the Capitol during the first vote and grabbed the outcome to compare to the final vote of record. On this scorecard, we have indicated with two asterisks those legislators who changed their vote after the first vote was closed. Most of these legislators moved from be-ing “not voting” to being “yes” votes. But two changed to a “no” vote, in-cluding Jim Cooper, a leader of the Moderate Caucus. If you’re wondering why your Assembly member changed votes after the first ballot, reach out to your legislator and ask. You can find a list of contact information on the Assembly’s website: http://assembly.ca.gov/assemblymembers.

SB 32, SB 1387 and SB 1441 are all included in our scorecard. Like the others on our scorecard, they are bills that our volunteers and staff worked hard to see pass. They aren’t the only bills on which we took positions and lobbied. There were dozens of others. But taken together, the votes on just these three show a distinctive difference among legisla-tors, particularly between the group who received high marks and those legislators who failed to break into the 80s.

Gauge Your Legislator’s Performance We prepare this scorecard to help the public gauge their legislators’ performance on the environment. If you think your legislator did a good job or needs to do better, reach out and let that legislator know. Legislators are only as good on environmental issues as their constituents demand them to be.

Governor’s Signing Score Gives Incomplete Picture

This year, seven measures on our scorecard made it to Governor Jerry Brown’s desk. He signed all seven. Those seven measures were just a small sampling of more than 54 bills on which we took positions that made it to the governor’s desk. Of those 54, Brown disagreed with our position and vetoed or signed despite our recommenda-tions on six bills. That means overall, Brown and the Sierra Club agreed a whole lot more often than we disagreed on legisla-tion in 2016.

The Full Story But that doesn’t tell the full story. The environmen-tal, environmental justice, and labor communities had to fight Brown’s attempts to undercut the California Environ-mental Quality Act through legislative and budget packages in two key instances this year involving housing and toxic site cleanup. Additionally, the Brown Administration continues to push forward with efforts to build giant tunnels to deliver diminishing water resources from above the San Francisco Bay Delta to parts south. In light of the effects of climate change and the other investments the state needs to make itself to be more resilient, the tunnels increasingly look like a bad financial deal, just as it has long looked like a bad deal for the environment. Yet Brown persists. And the mess at the Coastal Commission, when forc-es appointed by the governor led efforts to remove the agen-cy’s executive director who had sparred with developers, proceeded without a peep from the governor. So the governor this year receives 100 percent on his performance on our scorecard. Off the scorecard, it’s another story.

SUPPORT: Failed on Assembly Floor SB 1441 (Leno) Would have forced gas utilities to fix methane leaks by disallowing charges to ratepayers for gas lost due to a leaky and poorly maintained distribution system. SUPPORT: Failed on Assembly Floor

2016 Bill Summaries

Sierra Club California policy advocates select the bills that appear on the scorecard. The selection is based on factors that include a bill’s overall importance to the state’s environmental quality, the precedent it sets for good or bad impacts, and the bill’s importance to fulfilling the Club’s mission. This year, we scored 11 bills on which the Assembly voted and 13 bills in the Senate. The two additional bills on the Senate side were SB 1282 and SB 1239, neither of which passed and therefore did not go on to the Assembly. AB 2243, passed out of the Assembly, did not make it through the Senate committee review process and therefore only the votes of the members who were part of the committee are counted here.

Now that you know the score, take action!

Tell your legislators you know the score. Call their district offices and thank them if they scored well, or express disappointment if they didn’t. Let them know you care about California’s environment. You can find phone numbers for legislators at www.senate.ca.gov or www.assembly.ca.gov.
