From BBC

California Gov. Gavin Newsom recently signed legislation allowing regulators to require the state’s fuel refiners to store more fuel in an effort to tamp down spikes in the cost of gas.

Asked about regulatory costs at a news conference last week after signing a bill intended to prevent gasoline price spikes, he said, “I’ve been very supportive of being as transparent as possible with taxpayers.”
