Congressman Jimmy Panetta has reintroduced the California Central Coast Conservation Act. The legislation establishes a moratorium on all new oil and gas leasing on federal public land on the central coast of California. This is the first bill Congressman Panetta has introduced in the 117th Congress. The bill effects new oil and gas leasing and development on over 720,000 acres of public land in Central California, primarily in Fresno, Monterey, and San Benito counties.
