Bill overview
This bill, the Southern California Coast and Ocean Protection Act, aims to permanently protect the waters off the Southern California coast from oil and gas drilling. It does this by amending the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to specifically prohibit the Secretary of the Interior from issuing leases for oil and gas exploration, development, or production within the Southern California Planning Area. This area is defined by a recent leasing program document. The bill seeks to safeguard the region’s marine environment and economy.
