A California Assembly committee advanced SB 739 on June 29, moving the ride-hail emissions bill on a do-pass motion during the Assembly Transportation Committee hearing.
The measure is aimed at California’s Clean Miles Standard, which sets emissions-reduction expectations for transportation network companies. In the hearing excerpt, supporters framed SB 739 as a way to give regulators flexibility to adjust targets rather than forcing an all-or-nothing choice between immediate implementation and delay.
The committee record available for the hearing does not show the full vote tally or identify every member who voted. The excerpt also does not include the bill text or any amendment language, and the next committee referral is not fully detailed in the material reviewed.
SB 739’s advance came during a hearing that also covered a slate of other transportation bills, including measures on bikeways, transit funding, e-bike rules and traffic safety.
