On Tuesday, California lawmakers held a news conference introducing a bipartisan environmental bill — Assembly Bill 1624 — aimed at strengthening protections for the Golden State's public lands from federally-backed "privatization and irreversible development."
Led by Assemblymember Rick Chavez Zbur, D-Hollywood, the conference took place on the southwest lawn of the Capitol, where Zbur criticized the Trump administration's push for land policies that could cause significant environmental harm for California's lands.
