California air quality regulators late Friday approved a plan to strengthen limits on the planet-warming emissions from gasoline and diesel fuels, a move expected to raise gas prices but bring public health benefits.

Members of the California Air Resources Board approved amendments to the state low carbon fuel standard during a Friday meeting in Riverside that stretched 11 hours and featured scores of public speakers. Twelve of the appointed board members voted for the changes and two voted against. The new standard will carry lower limits for the carbon intensity of transportation fuels that can be sold in the state without penalty.
