Sess. 2023, ch. 1), which took effect June 28, 2023 and requires, among other things, that certain nonrefiners provide information to the CEC regarding transportation fuel inventory for each position holder. (Public Resources Code Section 25354(l).) The CEC developed regulations to implement and clarify the statutory reporting requirements and approved adoption of the regulations in article 3, chapter 3 of division 2 of title 20, California Code of Regulations.
