Oil and Tech Money Back Measure to Limit California Environmental Law

A measure to weaken California's landmark environmental review law is being financed by money from the oil and technology industries, according to reporting by Capital & Main. The involvement of both sectors suggests broad business interest in curbing the statute, which developers and companies have long criticized as a source of project delays and litigation costs. Environmental advocates are expected to push back against the effort.

Why now: News that major industry money is funding a challenge to California's core environmental law is drawing attention amid ongoing debates over housing, development and climate policy.
