   An act to repeal Sections 43021 and 43033 of the Health and Safety
Code, relating to air resources.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 433, Machado.  Air resources:  civil and administrative
penalties.
   (1) Existing law, as of January 1, 2003, makes a person who
transports, or who provides a vehicle to transport, motor vehicle
fuel for a motor vehicle fuel distributor who is not in compliance
with specified laws, liable for a civil penalty.
   This bill would repeal that law.
   (2) Existing law, which is to be repealed on January 1, 2003,
provides for civil or administrative penalties up to a prescribed
maximum, depending on the nature of the violation, for a violation of
prescribed statutes or any rule, regulation, permit, variance, or
order of the State Air Resources Board pertaining to fuel
requirements and standards.  The recovery of those penalties
precludes criminal prosecution, or the filing of a criminal complaint
requires dismissal of any action or administrative proceeding
seeking those civil penalties.
   This bill would repeal that repeal date, thereby extending the
operation of those provisions indefinitely.


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


  SECTION 1.  Section 43021 of the Health and Safety Code is
repealed.
  SEC. 2.  Section 43033 of the Health and Safety Code is repealed.
