(SACRAMENTO, CA) – AB 1777 (Garcia) failed to pass the Assembly yesterday. The bill would have expanded the California Air Resource Board's authority to create a statewide indirect source rule regulating warehouses, ports, malls, and other facilities. Adam Regele, Senior Government Relations Advisor for NAIOP SoCal, worked alongside the Supply Chain Federation, California Chamber of Commerce, and a 66-organization coalition to educate lawmakers about the substantial real-world costs and regulatory uncertainty the bill would have imposed on commercial real estate and the broader supply chain. “Expanding CARB's authority to regulate indirect sources statewide would have created significant new costs and uncertainty for commercial real estate and the businesses that depend on it,” said Timothy Jemal, CEO for NAIOP SoCal. “We were proud to stand with this coalition and make that case. We are thankful to hundreds of NAIOP SoCal Members and friends who participated in our grassroots campaign to inform Assemblymembers statewide to oppose AB 1777.” NAIOP SoCal remains committed to working with policymakers on emissions strategies grounded in data that deliver measurable results without undermining jobs, affordability, and economic competitiveness. |
