	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Jeffries

                        DECEMBER 1, 2008

   An act to add Section 40722 to the Health and Safety Code,
relating to air pollution.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 28, as introduced, Jeffries. Natural gas engines: water pumps.
   Existing law imposes various limitations on emissions of air
contaminants for the control of air pollution from vehicular and
nonvehicular sources. Existing law generally designates the State Air
Resources Board as the state agency with the primary responsibility
for the control of vehicular air pollution, and air pollution control
districts and air quality management districts with the primary
responsibility for the control of air pollution from all sources
other than vehicular sources.
   This bill would prohibit air pollution control districts and air
quality management districts from restricting the use of engines
powered by natural gas by a city, county, or special district,
including a water district, to operate water pumps.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 40722 is added to the Health and Safety Code,
to read:
   40722.  A district shall not restrict the use of engines powered
by natural gas by a city, county, or special district, including a
water district, to operate water pumps.
