California postpones oil well monitoring near homes and schools until 2030, extending enforcement of leaks law.

The delay coincides with the reinstatement of funding for three state agencies responsible for enforcing a law requiring oil companies to monitor for leaks within 3,200 feet of residences and schools. This legislation aims to protect over 2.5 million Californians, particularly in low-income communities, from health risks associated with oil wells.
