   An act relating to air pollution.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1452, as introduced, Skinner. State Air Resources Board:
cement.
   Existing law, the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006,
requires the State Air Resources Board to adopt a statewide
greenhouse gas emissions limit equivalent to the statewide greenhouse
gas emission level in 1990 to be achieved by 2020, and to adopt
rules and regulations in an open public process to achieve the
maximum technologically feasible and cost-effective greenhouse gas
emission reductions. Existing law designates the state board as the
state agency responsible for the preparation of the state
implementation plan required by the federal Clean Air Act, and
requires the state board to coordinate the activities of local air
districts to comply with the act.
   This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation to require the State Air Resources Board to promulgate
procurement standards for cement in order to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions and particulate matter emissions resulting from its
production and transport.
   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 to require the State Air Resources Board to promulgate
procurement standards for cement in order to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions and particulate matter emissions resulting from the
