Governor Signs Senator Cortese’s Law Targeting Dirty Diesel Train Pollution

SACRAMENTO – In a big win for climate action, Governor Gavin Newsom today signed into law Senator Cortese’s SB 30 that prevents the resale of high-polluting diesel trains decommissioned by public entities. It closes a major loophole that would have allowed older diesel-powered locomotives to be sold to other states or countries, relocating the pollution rather than eliminating it.
