 CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE—
 2017–2018 REGULAR SESSION

 Senate Bill

No. 773

Introduced by Senator Stern
(Principal coauthor: Senator Skinner)

February 17, 2017

 An act to amend Section 3214 of, and to add Section 3210.5 to, the Public Resources Code, relating to oil and gas. add Title 15 (commencing with Section 14400) to Part 4 of the Penal Code, relating to crimes.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 773, as amended, Stern.
 Oil and gas: well records. Terrorist and Criminal Organization Investigation Teams.

Existing law requires the Attorney General to administer various programs to coordinate data relating to crime prevention and criminal investigation and prosecution, including, among other data, firearm ownership, criminal records, and missing persons.

This bill would require the Attorney General to create Terrorist and Criminal Organization Investigation Teams, to be located throughout the state, to proactively coordinate efforts to thwart terrorism activity and criminal opportunities before they occur by specializing in social media forums. The bill would also require Department of Justice personnel to be trained on state and federal guidelines, as
 specified.

(1)Existing law requires the Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources to regulate the drilling and operation of wells used for the purpose of producing oil and gas. Existing law requires an owner or operator of a well to keep, or cause to be kept, a careful and accurate log, core record, and history of the drilling of the well. Existing law requires the log to be kept
 in the local office of the owner or operator, and, together with the tour reports of the owner or operator, is subject, during business hours, to the inspection of the supervisor, the district deputy, or the director. Under existing law, a person who fails to comply with these and other requirements relating to the regulation of oil or gas operations is guilty of a misdemeanor.

This bill would require the well history and all well summaries, in addition to the log, to be kept in the local office of the owner or operator, and would make them subject, during business hours, to the inspection of the supervisor, the district deputy, or the director. Because a violation of this requirement would be a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would require the division to post on its Internet Web site, in a manner determined by the division, specified mandatory disclosures received from operators on or after January 1, 2019, within 30 days of
 receipt.

(2)The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
