	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 359, Corbett. Vehicles: retirement and replacement.
   (1) Existing law establishes the Air Quality Improvement Program
that is administered by the State Air Resources Board for the
purposes of funding projects related to, among other things,
reduction of criteria air pollutants and improvement of air quality.
Existing law requires, until January 1, 2016, that a portion of the
registration fees for motor vehicles and vessels be deposited into
the Air Quality Improvement Fund and, upon appropriation, be expended
for the implementation of the program. Pursuant to the Air Quality
Improvement Program, the state board has established the Clean
Vehicle Rebate Project to promote the production and use of
zero-emission vehicles and the Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus
Voucher Incentive Project to provide vouchers to help California
fleets to purchase hybrid and zero-emission trucks and buses.
   Existing law establishes the Vehicle Inspection and Repair Fund,
which serves as a repository for fees collected by the Department of
Consumer Affairs pursuant to the Automotive Repair Act.
   This bill would require the Controller to transfer, as a loan,
$30,000,000 from the Vehicle Inspection and Repair Fund to the Air
Quality Improvement Fund. The bill would appropriate to the state
board these moneys in the Air Quality Improvement Fund to be expended
only for the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project and the Hybrid and
Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project, thereby making
an appropriation.
   (2) Existing law establishes the Capital Access Loan Program for
small businesses, administered by the California Pollution Control
Financing Authority, by providing loans through participating
financial institutions to qualifying small businesses, including
financial assistance to businesses affected by the In-Use Bus and
Truck Rule through the Heavy-Duty Vehicle Air Quality Loan Program.
   This bill would require the Controller to transfer, as a loan,
$10,000,000, from the Vehicle Inspection and Repair Fund to the Air
Pollution Control Fund. The bill would appropriate to the state board
these moneys in the Air Pollution Control Fund to be expended only
for the Heavy-Duty Vehicle Air Quality Loan Program, thereby making
an appropriation.
   (3) Existing law creates the Enhanced Fleet Modernization
Subaccount in the High Polluter Removal and Repair Account and makes
available, upon appropriation, all money in the account to establish
and implement the enhanced fleet modernization program, administered
by the Bureau of Automotive Repair in the Department of Consumer
Affairs.
   This bill would appropriate $8,000,000 to the Bureau of Automotive
Repair from the Enhanced Fleet Modernization Subaccount in the High
Polluter Repair or Removal Account to be expended only for the
purposes of the enhanced fleet modernization program, thereby making
an appropriation.
   Appropriation: yes.
