As a result of new state legislation, **[Assembly Bill 1057](https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB1057)**, the division, which oversees and administers regulations for energy producers in California, announced on January 1st that it had changed its name. The division is now officially the California Geologic Energy Management Division, shortened to CalGEM. The official announcement can be seen **[here](https://www.conservation.ca.gov/index/Pages/News/California-Oil-Gas-Regulator-Has-New-Name-Focus.aspx)**.
