CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE—
2017–2018 REGULAR SESSION
| Assembly Bill | No. 582 |
| Introduced by Assembly Member Cristina Garcia |
February 14, 2017 |
An act to amend Section 43203 of, and to add Section 43202.5 to, the Health and Safety Code, relating to vehicular air pollution, and making an appropriation therefor.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 582, as amended, Cristina Garcia.
Vehicles: emissions: surveillance.
Existing law requires a manufacturer of a new motor vehicle to allow the State Air Resources Board to conduct surveillance emissions testing at its assembly facilities or at any other location where the manufacturer’s assembly line testing is performed and testing records are kept. Existing law authorizes the sale and registration of a new motor vehicle to be rescinded or withheld if a manufacturer of a new motor vehicle prevents the state board from conducting surveillance of assembly line testing. Existing law authorizes the state board to impose a fee on the manufacturers of new motor vehicles to recover the state board’s costs associated with this surveillance. Existing law continuously appropriates those fees to the state board.
This bill would require the state board to enhance its surveillance of emissions from new motor vehicles to
detect defeat devices or other software used to evade the surveillance of emissions, as specified. The bill would authorize the state board to impose a fee on the manufacturers of new motor vehicles to cover the state board’s costs associated with the enhanced surveillance. By expanding an existing continuous appropriation, this bill would make an appropriation.
