Key Points: 
  • Under AB 3155, oil drillers could face penalties ranging from $250,000 to a $1 million.
  • These penalties can be challenged and rebutted by the drilling companies if the companies can prove the illnesses were caused another way.
  • Oil drillers that don't use the best technology to protect communities from toxic leaks need to be accountable to the communities they harm," said Assemblymember Friedman.
  • "If oil drillers don't want to invest in the most protective technology to drill, they should face legal accountability to the families they harm."
