Overview
This bill directs the California Energy Commission to conduct and submit an annual report on the sale of gasoline, including both branded and unbranded varieties. The report will analyze the supply and cost of transportation fuels, evaluate the impact of alternative gasoline specifications, and consider refinery maintenance and import needs. Specifically, the commission must evaluate the feasibility of allowing alternative gasoline formulations and recommend a strategy for their sale, potentially including fees. The report’s due date is shifted from January 1st to July 1st, and the 2027 report will specifically analyze price differences between branded and unbranded gasoline and market barriers to competition in the gasoline import market.
