INTRODUCED BY   Senator Cox
   (Principal coauthor: Assembly Member Garrick)

                        FEBRUARY 26, 2009

   An act to amend Section 41964 of the Health and Safety Code,
relating to air pollution, and declaring the urgency thereof, to take
effect immediately.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 507, as introduced, Cox. Gasoline: vapor recovery systems.
   Existing law requires the State Air Resources Board to adopt
procedures for determining the compliance of any system designed for
the control of gasoline vapor emissions during gasoline marketing
operations, including storage and transfer operations, and additional
performance standards to ensure that systems for the control of
gasoline vapors from motor vehicle fueling operations do not cause
excessive spillage and emissions. Existing law prohibits the state
board from requiring a gasoline dispensing facility that meets
certain requirements from undergoing an Enhanced Vapor Recovery Phase
II upgrade until April 1, 2011.
   This bill would prohibit the state board from requiring a gasoline
dispensing facility that does not meet these requirements from
undergoing an Enhanced Vapor Recovery Phase II upgrade until April 1,
2010.
   This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
an urgency statute.
   Vote: 2/3. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
