California's new law banning new oil and gas wells near homes, schools and other community sites has been put on hold until after voters decide next year whether to throw it out, officials announced Friday.
Opponents of Senate Bill 1137 gathered more than 623,000 valid voter signatures to put a referendum on the Nov. 5, 2024, general election ballot, California Secretary of State Shirley N. Weber announced. The challenge means the law, which took effect in January, will be on hold until after voters decide.
The bill, which was signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom last September, bans new wells within 3,200 feet of locations including schools, homes, day care and health care centers, parks, jails and businesses open to the public.
