Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed Senate Bill 675, which aimed to restructure the Imperial County Air Pollution Control District's governing board. The bill, authored by Steve Padilla, proposed expanding the board from five members to eleven, including city council representatives and five public members. Newsom cited significant unfunded financial burdens on local governments as the reason for the veto.

The veto blocks structural reforms to the air district, which currently consists solely of the Imperial County Board of Supervisors. The legislation also sought to mandate enhanced public disclosures on the air district's website, covering permitting data, enforcement actions, and budget details.
