BILL TEXT
INTRODUCED BY Senator Pavley
FEBRUARY 19, 2016
An act relating to vehicular air pollution.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 1430, as introduced, Pavley. Vehicular air pollution:
greenhouse gas emissions.
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. Existing law required the
state board to adopt regulations that achieve the maximum feasible
reduction of greenhouse gases emitted by passenger vehicles and
light-duty trucks and any other vehicles determined by the state
board to be vehicles whose primary use is noncommercial personal
transportation in the state.
This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation that would direct the state board to reassert its
authority to regulate tail pipe emissions if the upcoming federal
midterm review process on fuel economy and greenhouse gas emissions
standards results in a weakening of the proposed standards.
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. It is the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation that would direct the State Air Resources Board to
reassert its authority to regulate tail pipe emissions, pursuant to
Chapter 200 of the Statutes of 2002, if the upcoming federal midterm
review process on fuel economy and greenhouse gas emissions standards
results in a weakening of the proposed standards.
