Pre-pandemic but still true: #AB617 was designed to address the disproportionate #PollutionBurden and #RegulatoryFailure in #disadvantaged communities by provisions of #AB32 and the #CleanAirAct. It was a response to frustrations with the #ClimatePolicy framework that permitted #EmissionGrowth outside white and wealthy communities. AB617 companion legislation should be emulated elsewhere.
