Compared with: enacting legislation that will improve our state’s air quality, strengthen environmental protections, address water pollution, solid waste and recycling, and fisheries and wildlife
The cosponsored bill meaningfully advances the stated environmental goal by directing federal agencies to monitor, prevent, mitigate, and respond to harmful algal blooms and hypoxia in marine, coastal, Great Lakes, and freshwater systems, including lakes, rivers, and reservoirs. That supports water pollution-related protections, but it is narrower than the full priority because it focuses specifically on harmful algal blooms/hypoxia rather than the full range of air quality, solid waste/recycling, fisheries, and broader environmental protections.
“As a member of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, Senator Schiff is committed to enacting legislation that will improve our state’s air quality, strengthen environmental protections, address water pollution, solid waste and recycling, and fisheries and wildlife.”

Supporting provisions
“Harmful Algal Bloom and Hypoxia Research and Control Amendments Act of 2025 This bill extends through FY2030 and modifies the Harmful Algal Bloom and Hypoxia Research and Control Act to address algal blooms and hypoxia (deficiency of oxygen) in U.S. marine, estuarine, and freshwater systems.”
“NOAA must also carry out a variety of activities related to monitoring, predicting, preventing, mitigating, and responding to marine, coastal, and Great Lakes harmful algal bloom and hypoxia events.”
“For example, NOAA must establish (1) a national network of observing systems for monitoring, detecting, and forecasting harmful algal blooms; and (2) a national-level incubator program to increase the number of strategies, technologies, and measures available to prevent, mitigate, and control harmful algal blooms.”
“Additionally, the Environmental Protection Agency must develop and enhance operational freshwater harmful algal bloom monitoring, observing, and forecasting programs in lakes, rivers, and reservoirs and carry out other activities related to researching freshwater harmful algal blooms and hypoxia events.”

Compared with: invest in clean energy and create millions of new green jobs
The stated policy goal is a broad investment in clean energy and creation of millions of green jobs. The cosponsored bill instead focuses on harmful algal bloom and hypoxia research, monitoring, forecasting, and control. While it adds the Department of Energy to a task force, the bill does not directly fund clean energy deployment or job creation, so any connection is too indirect to score as support for the specific goal.
“Adam has pushed for an Apollo Project-level investment in fighting climate change, investing in clean energy and creating millions of new, green jobs and a green economy in California and across the country.”
