INTRODUCED BY   Senator Lowenthal

                        FEBRUARY 19, 2010

   An act to add Section 43018.7 to the Health and Safety Code,
relating to air pollution.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1328, as amended, Lowenthal. Greenhouse gas emissions: 
automotive glazing standards.   motor vehicle cabin
temperature. 
   The California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 designates the
State Air Resources Board as the state agency charged with
monitoring and regulating sources of emissions of greenhouse gases.
The state board is required to adopt a statewide greenhouse gas
emissions limit equivalent to the statewide greenhouse gas emissions
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.
   This bill would require the  executive officer of the
board, by no later than January 1, 2011, to complete and approve
alternative test procedures for automotive glazing standards
applicable to new passenger cars, light duty trucks, and medium duty
vehicles less than or equal to 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight
(GVW) in order to reduce the percentage of the total solar energy
(Tts) transmitted into the vehicle when the vehicle is parked
  state board to consider specified matters in
developing regulations to reduce motor vehicle cabin temperature in
order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions .
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 43018.7 is added to the Health and Safety Code,
to read:
   43018.7.   No later than January 1, 2011, the executive
officer of the board shall complete and approve the alternative test
procedures for automotive glazing standards referenced in Section
95603 of Title 17 of the California Code of Regulations. 
 In developing regulations to reduce motor vehicle cabin
temperature in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the state
board shall consider all of the following:  
   (a) Potential reductions in air conditioning use that can be
achieved while a motor vehicle is moving, in addition to reductions
in air conditioning use when a motor vehicle is parked.  
   (b) Potential conflicts between, and relative benefits of, motor
vehicle cabin temperature reduction requirements and technologies
that provide motor vehicle greenhouse gas emission reductions through
various means.  
   (c) The manufacturing flexibility necessary to achieve overall
maximum greenhouse gas emission reductions from motor vehicles.
