LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 763, as introduced, Fuller. Air resources: discharges. Existing law, until January 1, 2014, authorizes a local air pollution control district or air quality management district to adopt a rule or regulation, consistent with protecting the public's comfort, repose, health, and safety, and not causing injury, detriment, nuisance, or annoyance, that ensures district staff and resources are not used to investigate complaints, determined to be repeated and unsubstantiated, alleging a nuisance odor violation of that discharge prohibition. If a district adopts such a rule or regulation, the district is required to submit the rule or regulation to the Senate Committee on Environmental Quality and the Assembly Committee on Natural Resources within 30 days of adopting the rule or regulation. Existing law, operative on January 1, 2014, provides that, except as specified, a person is prohibited from discharging a quantity of air contaminants or other material that causes injury, detriment, nuisance, or annoyance to the public, or that endangers the comfort, repose, health, or safety of the public, or that causes injury or damage to business or property, as provided.
