INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Simitian

                        FEBRUARY 14, 2003

   An act to amend Section 72303 of the Public Resources Code,
relating to air emissions.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 471, as introduced, Simitian.  Air emissions: cruise ships.
   Existing law requires the State Air Resources Board to measure and
record the opacity of visible emissions of a representative sample
of large passenger vessels while at berth or at anchor in a port in
the state.  That provision is repealed as of July 1, 2003.
   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to that
provision.
   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.  Section 72303 of the Public Resources Code is amended
to read:
   72303.  The State Air Resources Board shall measure and record the
opacity of visible emissions, excluding condensed water vapor, of a
representative sample of large passenger vessels while at berth or at
anchor in a port  of this state   in California
 .
