The slow-moving oil spill off the coast of Orange County, California, this week has reinvigorated federal and state lawmakers' efforts to end offshore drilling.

Democratic Rep. Jared Huffman of California introduced the bill in the House. "Californians have made it clear: We don't want oil drilling off our coast," Feinstein said in a statement on Monday.
