Marking the 50th anniversary of the devastating Santa Barbara oil spill , California state Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson (D) introduced a bill Monday that would bulk up rules governing the construction of oil pipelines.

The bill, which comes in the face of reported plans by President Donald Trump to limit states abilities to block pipelines, would require all pipelines in the state be operated according to California laws, preventing operators from shirking those in favor of following less rigid federal ones.

It would also require pipeline operators to provide inspection-related records to the state fire marshal upon request, something Jackson said many operators have failed to do so on time in the past.

Jackson announced the bill exactly five decades from the date the 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill first broke, smothering beaches in oil and creating generations of consequences for local wildlife. The biggest disaster of its kind at the time, the highly publicized crisis was regarded as a seminal event in the development of the modern conservationist movement and a catastrophe that triggered some of todays most sweeping environmental protection policy decisions, including the founding of the Environmental Protection Agency.
