	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 11, as amended, Pavley. Alternative fuel and vehicle
technologies: funding programs.
   (1) Existing law establishes the Alternative and Renewable Fuel
and Vehicle Technology Program, administered by the State Energy
Resources Conservation and Development Commission, to provide to
specified entities, upon appropriation by the Legislature, grants,
loans, loan guarantees, revolving loans, or other appropriate
measures, for the development and deployment of innovative
technologies that would transform California's fuel and vehicle types
to help attain the state's climate change goals. Existing law
specifies that only certain projects or programs are eligible for
funding, including block grants administered by public entities or
not-for-profit technology entities for multiple projects, education
and program promotion within California, and development of
alternative and renewable fuel and vehicle technology centers.
Existing law requires the commission to develop and adopt an
investment plan to determine priorities and opportunities for the
program. Existing law also creates the Air Quality Improvement
Program, administered by the State Air Resources Board, to fund air
quality improvement projects related to fuel and vehicle
technologies.  Existing law creates the enhanced fleet
modernization program to provide compensation for the retirement of
passenger vehicles, and light-duty and medium-duty trucks that are
high polluters. 
   This bill would provide that the  state  board, until
January 1, 2024, has no authority to enforce any element of its
existing clean fuels outlet regulation or other regulation that
requires or has the effect of requiring any  person 
 supplier, as defined,  to construct, operate, or provide
funding for the construction or operation of any publicly available
 hydrogen fueling   hydrogen-fueling 
station. The bill would require the board to aggregate and make
available to the public, no later than  January 1, 
 June 30,  2014, and every year thereafter, the number of
hydrogen-fueled vehicles that  automobile  
motor vehicle  manufacturers project to be sold or leased over
the next 3 years, as reported to the  state  board, and the
number of hydrogen-fueled vehicles registered with the Department of
Motor Vehicles through April 30. The bill would require the
commission to allocate $20 million  each fiscal year
  annually  , as specified, until there are at
least 100 publicly available  hydrogen fueling  
hydrogen-fueling  stations in California. The bill, on or
before December 31, 2015, and annually thereafter, would require the
commission and the board to jointly review and report on the progress
toward establishing a  hydrogen fueling  
hydrogen-fueling  network that provides the coverage and
capacity to fuel vehicles requiring hydrogen fuel that are being
placed into operation in the state, as specified. The bill would
authorize the commission to design grants, loan incentive programs,
revolving loan programs, and other forms of financial assistance, as
specified, for purposes of assisting in the implementation of these
provisions. The bill, no later than July 1,  2013 
 2014  , would require the  state  board 
and air districts   , in consultation with air pollution
control and air quality management districts,  to 
jointly  convene working groups to evaluate the specified
policies and goals of specified programs. The bill would add
intelligent transportation systems as a category of projects eligible
for funding under the Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle
Technology Program. The bill would require the commission and the
board, in making awards under both the Alternative and Renewable Fuel
and Vehicle Technology Program and the Air Quality Improvement
Program, to provide a preference to projects with higher benefit-cost
scores, as defined. The bill would prohibit any customer incentives
for light-duty vehicles from being greater than compensations given
to customers under the  Enhanced Fleet Modernization Program
  enhanced fleet modernization program  for the
retirement of certain high polluting vehicles.
   (2) Existing law, until January 1, 2016, increases vehicle
registration fees, vessel registration fees, and specified service
fees for identification plates by a specified amount. Existing law
requires the revenue generated by the increase in those fees to be
deposited in the Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle
Technology Fund, and either the Air Quality Improvement Fund or the
Enhanced Fleet Modernization Subaccount, as provided.
   Existing law, until January 1, 2016, imposes on certain vehicles a
smog abatement fee of $20, and requires a specified amount of this
fee to be deposited in the Air Quality Improvement Fund and in the
Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Fund.
   This bill would extend those fees in the amounts required to make
these deposits into the Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle
Technology Fund, the Air Quality Improvement Fund, and the Enhanced
Fleet Modernization Subaccount until January 1, 2024, at which time
the fees would be reduced by those amounts.
   (3) Existing law establishes the Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality
Standards Attainment  Program (Carl Moyer program), 
 Program,  which is administered by the  state 
board, to provide grants to offset the incremental cost of eligible
projects that reduce emissions of air pollutants from sources in the
state and for funding a fueling infrastructure demonstration program
and technology development efforts. Existing law, beginning January
1, 2015, limits the Carl Moyer program to funding projects that
reduce emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx).
   This bill would extend the current authorization for the Carl
Moyer program to fund a broader range of projects that reduce
emissions until January 1, 2024, and would make other conforming
changes in that regard.  The bill also would delete obsolete
references and make conforming changes to the Carl Moyer program.

   (4) Existing law authorizes the district board of the Sacramento
Metropolitan Air Quality Management District to adopt a surcharge on
motor vehicle registration fees applicable to all motor vehicles
registered in the counties within that district. Existing law, until
January 1, 2015, raises the limit on the amount of that surcharge
from $4 to $6 for a motor vehicle whose registration expires on or
after December 31, 1990, and requires that $2 of the surcharge be
used to implement the Carl Moyer program, as specified. Beginning
January 1, 2015, existing law returns the surcharge limit to its
previous amount of $4.
   This bill would extend the $6 limitation on the surcharge until
January 1, 2024, with the limit returning to $4 beginning on that
date.
   (5) Existing law authorizes each air  pollution control
and air quality management  district  , or district,
 that has been designated a state  
federal  nonattainment area by the  state  board for
any motor vehicle air pollutant, except the Sacramento 
Metropolitan  Air Quality Management District, to levy a
surcharge on the registration fees for every motor vehicle registered
in that  air  district, as specified by the governing body
of the  air  district. Existing law requires the Department
of Motor Vehicles to collect that surcharge if requested by 
a   an air  district, and requires the department,
after deducting its administrative costs, to distribute the revenues
to the  air  districts. Existing law, until January 1, 2015,
raises the limit on the amount of that surcharge from $4 to $6 and
requires that $2 of the surcharge be used to implement the Carl Moyer
program, as specified. Beginning January 1, 2015, existing law
returns the surcharge limit to its previous amount of $4.
   This bill would extend the $6 limitation on the surcharge until
January 1, 2024, with the limit returning to $4 beginning on that
date.
   (6) Existing law imposes, until January 1, 2015, a California tire
fee of $1.75 per tire on every person who purchases a new tire, with
the revenues generated to be allocated for prescribed purposes
related to disposal and use of used tires. Existing law requires that
$0.75 per tire on which the fee is imposed  ,  be
deposited in the Air Pollution Control Fund  ,  
with  these moneys to be available upon appropriation by the
Legislature for use by the  state  board and  air 
districts for specified purposes. Existing law reduces the tire fee
to $0.75 per tire on and after January 1, 2015.
   This bill would  , on January 1, 2015,  instead
 establish   set  the tire fee at 
$1.50   $1.75  per tire until January 1, 2024, and
reduce the tire fee to $0.75 per tire on and after January 1, 2024.
   (7) Section 3 of Article XIX of the California Constitution
restricts the expenditure of revenues from fees and taxes imposed by
the state on vehicles to specified purposes, subject to certain
exceptions.
   This bill would require the commission and the  state 
board to ensure that revenues from specified fees imposed on vehicles
that are used for purposes of the Alternative and Renewable Fuel and
Vehicle Technology Program and the Air Quality Improvement Program
are expended in compliance with Section 3 of Article XIX of the
California Constitution.
   (8) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately
as an urgency statute.
   Vote: 2/3. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 41081 of the Health and Safety Code, as amended

included, in whole or in part, within the Sacramento district, the
Sacramento district board may adopt a surcharge on the motor vehicle
registration fees applicable to all motor vehicles registered in
those counties within the Sacramento district whose boards of
supervisors have adopted a resolution approving the surcharge. The
surcharge shall be collected by the Department of Motor Vehicles and,
after deducting the department's administrative costs, the remaining
funds shall be transferred to the Sacramento district. Prior to the
adoption of any surcharge pursuant to this subdivision, the district
board shall make a finding that any funds allocated to the district

tax are insufficient to carry out the purposes of this chapter.
   (b) The surcharge shall not exceed six dollars ($6).
   (c) After consulting with the Department of Motor Vehicles on the
feasibility thereof, the Sacramento district board may provide, in
the surcharge adopted pursuant to subdivision (a), to exempt from all
or part of the surcharge any category of low-emission motor vehicle.

   (d) Funds received by the Sacramento district pursuant to this
section shall be used by that district as follows:
   (1) The revenues resulting from the first four dollars ($4) of
each surcharge shall be used to implement reductions in emissions
from vehicular sources, including, but not limited to, a clean fuels
program and motor vehicle use reduction measures.
   (2) The revenues resulting from the next two dollars ($2) of each
surcharge shall be used to implement the following programs that
achieve emission reductions from vehicular sources and off-road
engines, to the extent that the district determines the program
remediates air pollution harms created by motor vehicles on which the
surcharge is imposed:
   (A) Projects eligible for grants under the Carl Moyer Memorial Air
Quality Standards Attainment Program (Chapter 9 (commencing with

   (F) The enhancement of deteriorating natural gas fueling
dispensers of fueling infrastructure operated by a school district
with a one-time funding amount not to exceed five hundred dollars
($500) per dispenser, pursuant to the Lower-Emission School Bus
Program adopted by the state board.
   (e) Not more than 5 percent of the funds collected pursuant to
this section shall be used by the district for administrative
expenses.
   (f) A project funded by the program shall not be used for credit
under any state or federal emissions averaging, banking, or trading
program. An emission reduction generated by the program shall not be
used as marketable emission reduction credits or to offset any
emission reduction obligation of any person or entity. Projects
involving new engines that would otherwise generate marketable
credits under state or federal averaging, banking, and trading
programs shall include transfer of credits to the engine end user and
retirement of those credits toward reducing air emissions in order
to qualify for funding under the program. A purchase of a
low-emission vehicle or of equipment pursuant to a corporate or a
controlling board's policy, but not otherwise required by law, shall
generate surplus emissions reductions and may be funded by the
program.
   (g) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1,

  SEC. 22.  Section 44283 of the Health and Safety Code, as amended
by Section 1 of Chapter 571 of the Statutes of 2010, is amended to
read:
   44283.  (a) Grants shall not be made for projects with a
cost-effectiveness, calculated in accordance with this section, of
more than thirteen thousand six hundred dollars ($13,600) per ton of
NOx reduced in California or a higher value that reflects state
consumer price index adjustments on or after January 1, 2006, as
determined by the state board. For projects obtaining reactive
organic gas and particulate matter reductions, the state board shall
determine appropriate adjustment factors to calculate a weighted
cost-effectiveness.
   (b) Only covered emission reductions occurring in this state shall
be included in the cost-effectiveness determination. The extent to
which emissions generated at sea contribute to air quality in
California nonattainment areas shall be incorporated into these
methodologies based on a reasonable assessment of currently available
information and modeling assumptions.
   (c) The state board shall develop protocols for calculating the
surplus covered emission reductions in California from representative
project types over the life of the project.
   (d) The cost of the covered emission reduction is the amount of
the grant from the program, including matching funds provided
pursuant to subdivision (e) of Section 44287, plus any other state
funds, or funds under the district's budget authority or fiduciary
control, provided toward the project, not including funds described
in paragraphs (1) and (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 44287.2. The
state board shall establish reasonable methodologies for evaluating
project cost-effectiveness, consistent with the definition contained
in paragraph (4) of subdivision (a) of Section 44275, and with
accepted methods, taking into account a fair and reasonable discount
rate or time value of public funds.
   (e) A grant shall not be made that, net of taxes, provides the
applicant with funds in excess of the incremental cost of the
project. Incremental lease costs may be capitalized according to
guidelines adopted by the state board so that these incremental costs
may be offset by a one-time grant award.
   (f) Funds under a district's budget authority or fiduciary control
may be used to pay for the incremental cost of liquid or gaseous
fuel, other than standard gasoline or diesel, which is integral to a
covered emission reducing technology that is part of a project
receiving grant funding under the program. The fuel shall be approved
for sale by the state board. The incremental fuel cost over the
expected lifetime of the vehicle may be offset by the district if the
project as a whole, including the incremental fuel cost, meets all
of the requirements of this chapter, including the maximum allowed
cost-effectiveness. The state board shall develop an appropriate
methodology for converting incremental fuel costs over the vehicle
lifetime into an initial cost for the purposes of determining project
cost-effectiveness. Incremental fuel costs shall not be included in
project costs for fuels dispensed from any facility that was funded,
in whole or in part, from the fund.
   (g) For purposes of determining any grant amount pursuant to this
chapter, the incremental cost of any new purchase, retrofit, repower,
or add-on equipment shall be reduced by the value of any current
financial incentive that directly reduces the project price,
including any tax credits or deductions, grants, or other public
financial assistance, not including funds described in paragraphs (1)
and (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 44287.2. Project proponents
applying for funding shall be required to state in their application
any other public financial assistance to the project.
   (h) For projects that would repower off-road equipment by
replacing uncontrolled diesel engines with new, certified diesel
engines, the state board may establish maximum grant award amounts
per repower. A repower project shall also be subject to the
incremental cost maximum pursuant to subdivision (e).
   (i) After study of available emission reduction technologies and
costs and after public notice and comment, the state board may reduce
the values of the maximum grant award criteria stated in this
section to improve the ability of the program to achieve its goals.
Every year the state board shall adjust the maximum
cost-effectiveness amount established in subdivision (a) and any
per-project maximum set by the state board pursuant to subdivision
(h) to account for inflation.
   (j) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1,
2024, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted
statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2024, deletes or extends
that date.

cost-effectiveness, calculated in accordance with this section, of
more than twelve thousand dollars ($12,000) per ton of NOx reduced in
California or a higher value that reflects state consumer price
index adjustments on or after January 1, 2024, as determined by the
state board.
   (b) Only NOx reductions occurring in this state shall be included
in the cost-effectiveness determination. The extent to which
emissions generated at sea contribute to air quality in California
nonattainment areas shall be incorporated into these methodologies
based on a reasonable assessment of currently available information
and modeling assumptions.
   (c) The state board shall develop protocols for calculating the
surplus NOx reductions in California from representative project
types over the life of the project.
   (d) The cost of the NOx reduction is the amount of the grant from
the program, including matching funds provided pursuant to
subdivision (e) of Section 44287, plus any other state funds, or
funds under the district's budget authority or fiduciary control,
provided toward the project, not including funds described in
paragraphs (1) and (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 44287.2. The
state board shall establish reasonable methodologies for evaluating
project cost-effectiveness, consistent with the definition contained
in paragraph (4) of subdivision (a) of Section 44275, and with
accepted methods, taking into account a fair and reasonable discount
rate or time value of public funds.
   (e) A grant shall not be made that, net of taxes, provides the
applicant with funds in excess of the incremental cost of the
project. Incremental lease costs may be capitalized according to
guidelines adopted by the state board so that these incremental costs
may be offset by a one-time grant award.

funding under the program. The fuel shall be approved for sale by the
state board. The incremental fuel cost over the expected lifetime of
the vehicle may be offset by the district if the project as a whole,
including the incremental fuel cost, meets all of the requirements
of this chapter, including the maximum allowed cost-effectiveness.
The state board shall develop an appropriate methodology for
converting incremental fuel costs over the vehicle lifetime into an
initial cost for the purposes of determining project
cost-effectiveness. Incremental fuel costs shall not be included in
project costs for fuels dispensed from any facility that was funded,
in whole or in part, from the fund.
   (g) For purposes of determining any grant amount pursuant to this
chapter, the incremental cost of any new purchase, retrofit, repower,
or add-on equipment shall be reduced by the value of any current
financial incentive that directly reduces the project price,
including any tax credits or deductions, grants, or other public
financial assistance, not including funds described in paragraphs (1)
and (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 44287.2. Project proponents
applying for funding shall be required to state in their application
any other public financial assistance to the project.
   (h) For projects that would repower off-road equipment by
replacing uncontrolled diesel engines with new, certified diesel
engines, the state board may establish maximum grant award amounts
per repower. A repower project shall also be subject to the
incremental cost maximum pursuant to subdivision (e).
   (i) After study of available emission reduction technologies and
costs and after public notice and comment, the state board may reduce
the values of the maximum grant award criteria stated in this
section to improve the ability of the program to achieve its goals.
Every year the state board shall adjust the maximum
cost-effectiveness amount established in subdivision (a) and any
per-project maximum set by the state board pursuant to subdivision
(h) to account for inflation.
   (j) This section shall become operative on January 1, 2024.
  SEC. 24.  Section 44287 of the Health and Safety Code, as amended
by Section 10 of Chapter 707 of the Statutes of 2004, is amended to
read:
   44287.  (a) The state board shall establish or update grant
criteria and guidelines consistent with this chapter for covered
vehicle projects as soon as practicable, but not later than January
1, 2006. The adoption of guidelines is exempt from the rulemaking
provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act, Chapter 3.5
(commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of
the Government Code. The state board shall solicit input and comment
from the districts during the development of the criteria and
guidelines and shall make every effort to develop criteria and
guidelines that are compatible with existing
                     district programs that are also consistent with
this chapter. Guidelines shall include protocols to calculate project
cost-effectiveness. The grant criteria and guidelines shall include
safeguards to ensure that the project generates surplus emissions
reductions. Guidelines shall enable and encourage districts to cofund
projects that provide emissions reductions in more than one
district. The state board shall make draft criteria and guidelines
available to the public 45 days before final adoption, and shall hold
at least one public meeting to consider public comments before final
adoption. The state board may develop separate guidelines and
criteria for the different types of eligible projects described in
subdivision (a) of Section 44281.
   (b) The state board, in consultation with the participating
districts, may propose revisions to the criteria and guidelines
established pursuant to subdivision (a) as necessary to improve the
ability of the program to achieve its goals. A proposed revision
shall be made available to the public 45 days before final adoption
of the revision and the state board shall hold at least one public
meeting to consider public comments before final adoption of the
revision.
   (c) The state board shall reserve funds for, and disburse funds
to, districts from the fund for administration pursuant to this
section and Section 44299.1.
   (d) The state board shall develop guidelines for a district to
follow in applying for the reservation of funds, in accordance with
this chapter. It is the intent of the Legislature that district
administration of any reserved funds be in accordance with the
project selection criteria specified in Sections 44281, 44282, and
44283 and all other provisions of this chapter. The guidelines shall
be established and published by the state board as soon as
practicable, but not later than January 1, 2006.
   (e) Funds shall be reserved by the state board for administration
by a district that adopts an eligible program pursuant to this
chapter and offers matching funds at a ratio of one dollar ($1) of
matching funds committed by the district or the Mobile Source Air
Pollution Reduction Review Committee for every two dollars ($2)
committed from the fund. Funds available to the Mobile Source Air
Pollution Reduction Review Committee may be counted as matching funds
for projects in the South Coast Air Basin only if the committee
approves the use of these funds for matching purposes. Matching funds
may be any funds under the district's budget authority that are
committed to be expended in accordance with the program. Funds
committed by a port authority or a local government, in cooperation
with a district, to be expended in accordance with the program may
also be counted as district matching funds. Matching funds provided
by a port authority or a local government may not exceed 30 percent
of the total required matching funds in any district that applies for
more than three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) of the state
board funds. Only a district, or a port authority or a local
government teamed with a district, may provide matching funds.
   (f) The state board may adjust the ratio of matching funds
described in subdivision (e), if it determines that an adjustment is
necessary in order to maximize the use of, or the air quality
benefits provided by, the program, based on a consideration of the
financial resources of the district.
   (g) Notwithstanding subdivision (e), a district need not provide
matching funds for state board funds allocated to the district for
program outreach activities pursuant to paragraph (4) of subdivision
(a) of Section 44299.1.
   (h) A district may include within its matching funds a reasonable
estimate of direct or in-kind costs for assistance in providing
program outreach and application evaluation. In-kind and direct
matching funds shall not exceed 15 percent of the total matching
funds offered by a district. A district may also include within its
matching funds any money spent on or after February 25, 1999, that
would have qualified as matching funds but were not previously
claimed as matching funds.
   (i) A district desiring a reservation of funds shall apply to the
state board following the application guidelines established pursuant
to this section. The state board shall approve or disapprove a
district application not later than 60 days after receipt. Upon
approval of any district application, the state board shall
simultaneously approve a reservation of funding for that district to
administer. Reserved funds shall be disbursed to the district so that
funding of a district-approved project is not impeded.
   (j) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, districts
and the Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee shall
not use funds collected pursuant to Section 41081 or Chapter 7
(commencing with Section 44220), or pursuant to Section 9250.11 of
the Vehicle Code, as matching funds to fund a project with stationary
or portable engines, locomotives, or marine vessels.
   (k) Any funds reserved for a district pursuant to this section are
available to the district for a period of not more than two years
from the time of reservation. Funds not expended by June 30 of the
second calendar year following the date of the reservation shall
revert back to the state board as of that June 30, and shall be
deposited in the  Covered Vehicle Account established
pursuant to Section 44299.   fund for use by the
program.  The funds may then be redirected based on applications
to the fund. Regardless of any reversion of funds back to the state
board, the district may continue to request other reservations of
funds for local administration. Each reservation of funds shall be
accounted for separately, and unused funds from each application
shall revert back to the state board as specified in this
subdivision.
   (  l  ) The state board shall specify a date each year
when district applications are due. If the eligible applications
received in any year oversubscribe the available funds, the state
board shall reserve funds on an allocation basis, pursuant to Section
44299.2. The state board may accept a district application after the
due date for a period of months specified by the state board. Funds
may be reserved in response to those applications, in accordance with
this chapter, out of funds remaining after the original reservation
of funds for the year.
   (m) Guidelines for a district application shall require
information from an applicant district to the extent necessary to
meet the requirements of this chapter, but shall otherwise minimize
the information required of a district.
   (n) A district application shall be reviewed by the state board
immediately upon receipt. If the state board determines that an
application is incomplete, the applicant shall be notified within 10
working days with an explanation of what is missing from the
application. A completed application fulfilling the criteria shall be
approved as soon as practicable, but not later than 60 working days
after receipt.
   (o) The commission, in consultation with the districts, shall
establish project approval criteria and guidelines for infrastructure
projects consistent with Section 44284 as soon as practicable, but
not later than February 15, 2000. The commission shall make draft
criteria and guidelines available to the public 45 days before final
adoption, and shall hold at least one public meeting to consider
public comments before final adoption.
   (p) The commission, in consultation with the participating
districts, may propose revisions to the criteria and guidelines
established pursuant to subdivision (o) as necessary to improve the
ability of the program to achieve its goals. A revision may be
proposed at any time, or may be proposed in response to a finding
made in the annual report on the program published by the state board
pursuant to Section 44295. A proposed revision shall be made
available to the public 45 days before final adoption of the revision
and the commission shall hold at least one public meeting to
consider public comments before final adoption of the revision.
   (q) Unclaimed funds will be allocated by the state board in
accordance with Section 44299.2.
   (r) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1,
2024, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted
statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2024, deletes or extends
that date.

with this chapter. Guidelines shall include protocols to calculate
project cost-effectiveness. The grant criteria and guidelines shall
include safeguards to ensure that the project generates surplus
emissions reductions. Guidelines shall enable and encourage districts
to cofund projects that provide emissions reductions in more than
one district. The state board shall make draft criteria and
guidelines available to the public 45 days before final adoption, and
shall hold at least one public meeting to consider public comments
before final adoption.
   (b) The state board, in consultation with the participating
districts, may propose revisions to the criteria and guidelines
established pursuant to subdivision (a) as necessary to improve the
ability of the program to achieve its goals. A proposed revision
shall be made available to the public 45 days before final adoption
of the revision and the state board shall hold at least one public
meeting to consider public comments before final adoption of the
revision.
   (c) The state board shall reserve funds for, and disburse funds
to, districts from the fund for administration pursuant to this
section and Section 44299.1.

follow in applying for the reservation of funds, in accordance with
this chapter. It is the intent of the Legislature that district
administration of any reserved funds be in accordance with the
project selection criteria specified in Sections 44281, 44282, and
44283 and all other provisions of this chapter. The guidelines shall
be established and published by the state board as soon as
practicable, but not later than January 1, 2000.
   (e) Funds shall be reserved by the state board for administration
by a district that adopts an eligible program pursuant to this
chapter and offers matching funds at a ratio of one dollar ($1) of
matching funds committed by the district or the Mobile Source Air
Pollution Reduction Review Committee for every two dollars ($2)
committed from the fund. Funds available to the Mobile Source Air
Pollution Reduction Review Committee may be counted as matching funds
for projects in the South Coast Air Basin only if the committee
approves the use of these funds for matching purposes. Matching funds
may be any funds under the district's budget authority that are
committed to be expended in accordance with the program. Funds
committed by a port authority or a local government, in cooperation
with a district, to be expended in accordance with the program may
also be counted as district matching funds. Matching funds provided
by a port authority or a local government may not exceed 30 percent
of the total required matching funds in any district that applies for
more than three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) of the state
board funds. Only a district, or a port authority or a local
government teamed with a district, may provide matching funds.
   (f) The state board may adjust the ratio of matching funds
described in subdivision (e), if it determines that an adjustment is
necessary in order to maximize the use of, or the air quality
benefits provided by, the program, based on a consideration of the
financial resources of the district.
   (g) Notwithstanding subdivision (e), a district need not provide
matching funds for state board funds allocated to the district for
program outreach activities pursuant to paragraph (4) of subdivision
(a) of Section 44299.1.
   (h) A district may include within its matching funds a reasonable
estimate of direct or in-kind costs for assistance in providing
program outreach and application evaluation. In-kind and direct
matching funds shall not exceed 15 percent of the total matching
funds offered by a district. A district may also include within its
matching funds any money spent on or after February 25, 1999, that
would have qualified as matching funds but were not previously
claimed as matching funds.
   (i) A district desiring a reservation of funds shall apply to the
state board following the application guidelines established pursuant
to this section. The state board shall approve or disapprove a
district application not later than 60 days after receipt. Upon
approval of any district application, the state board shall
simultaneously approve a reservation of funding for that district to
administer. Reserved funds shall be disbursed to the district so that
funding of a district-approved project is not impeded.
   (j) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, districts
and the Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee shall
not use funds collected pursuant to Section 41081 or Chapter 7
(commencing with Section 44220), or pursuant to Section 9250.11 of
the Vehicle Code, as matching funds to fund a project with stationary
or portable engines, locomotives, or marine vessels.
   (k) Any funds reserved for a district pursuant to this section are
available to the district for a period of not more than two years
from the time of reservation. Funds not expended by June 30 of the
second calendar year following the date of the reservation shall
revert back to the state board as of that June 30, and shall be
deposited in the  Covered Vehicle Account established
pursuant to Section 44299.   fund for use by the
program.  The funds may then be redirected based on applications
to the fund. Regardless of any reversion of funds back to the state
board, the district may continue to request other reservations of
funds for local administration. Each reservation of funds shall be
accounted for separately, and unused funds from each application
shall revert back to the state board as specified in this
subdivision.
   (  l  ) The state board shall specify a date each year
when district applications are due. If the eligible applications
received in any year oversubscribe the available funds, the state
board shall reserve funds on an allocation basis, pursuant to
subdivision (b) of Section 44299.1. The state board may accept a
district application after the due date for a period of months
specified by the state board. Funds may be reserved in response to
those applications, in accordance with this chapter, out of funds
remaining after the original reservation of funds for the year.
   (m) Guidelines for a district application shall require
information from an applicant district to the extent necessary to
meet the requirements of this chapter, but shall otherwise minimize
the information required of a district.
   (n) A district application shall be reviewed by the state board
immediately upon receipt. If the state board determines that an
application is incomplete, the applicant shall be notified within 10
working days with an explanation of what is missing from the
application. A completed application fulfilling the criteria shall be
approved as soon as practicable, but not later than 60 working days
after receipt.
   (o) The state board, in consultation with the districts, shall
establish project approval criteria and guidelines for infrastructure
projects consistent with Section 44284 as soon as practicable, but
not later than February 15, 2000. The commission shall make draft
criteria and guidelines available to the public 45 days before final
adoption, and shall hold at least one public meeting to consider
public comments before final adoption.
   (p) The state board, in consultation with the participating
districts, may propose revisions to the criteria and guidelines
established pursuant to subdivision (o) as necessary to improve the
ability of the program to achieve its goals. A revision may be
proposed at any time, or may be proposed in response to a finding
made in the annual report on the program published by the state board
pursuant to Section 44295. A proposed revision shall be made
available to the public 45 days before final adoption of the revision
and the commission shall hold at least one public meeting to
consider public comments before final adoption of the revision.

   SEC. 28.   SEC. 29.   Section 44299.2 of
the Health and Safety Code is amended to read:
   44299.2.  Funds shall be allocated to  local air pollution
control and air quality management  districts, and shall be
subject to administrative terms and conditions as follows:
   (a) Available funds shall be distributed to districts taking into
consideration the population of the area, the severity of the air
quality problems experienced by the population, and the historical
allocation of the  Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards
Attainment Trust Fund,   program funds,  except
that the south coast district shall be allocated a percentage of the
total funds available to districts that is proportional to the
percentage of the total state population residing within the
jurisdictional boundaries of that district. For the purposes of this
subdivision, population shall be determined by the state board based
on the most recent data provided by the Department of Finance. The
allocation to the south coast district shall be subtracted from the
total funds available to districts. Each district, except the south
coast district, shall be awarded a minimum allocation of two hundred
thousand dollars ($200,000), and the remainder, which shall be known
as the "allocation amount," shall be allocated to all districts as
follows:
   (1) The state board shall distribute 35 percent of the allocation
amount to the districts in proportion to the percentage of the total
residual state population that resides within each district's
boundaries. For purposes of this paragraph, "total residual state
population" means the total state population, less the total
population that resides within the south coast district.
   (2) The state board shall distribute 35 percent of the allocation
amount to the districts in proportion to the severity of the air
quality problems to which each district's population is exposed. The
severity of the exposure shall be calculated as follows:
   (A) Each district shall be awarded severity points based on the
district's attainment designation and classification, as most
recently promulgated by the federal Environmental Protection Agency
for the National Ambient Air Quality
             Standard for ozone averaged over eight hours, as
follows:
   (i) A district that is designated attainment for the federal
eight-hour ozone standard shall be awarded one point.
   (ii) A district that is designated nonattainment for the federal
eight-hour ozone standard shall be awarded severity points based on
classification. Two points shall be awarded for transitional, basic,
or marginal classifications, three points for moderate
classification, four points for serious classification, five points
for severe classification, six points for severe-17 classification,
and seven points for extreme classification.
   (B) Each district shall be awarded severity points based on the
annual diesel particulate emissions in the air basin, as determined
by the state board. One point shall be awarded to the district, in
increments, for each 1,000 tons of diesel particulate emissions. In
making this determination, 0 to 999 tons shall be awarded no points,
1,000 to 1,999 tons shall be awarded one point, 2,000 to 2,999 tons
shall be awarded two points, and so forth. If a district encompasses
more than one air basin, the air basin with the greatest diesel
particulate emissions shall be used to determine the points awarded
to the district. The San Diego County Air Pollution Control District
and the Imperial County Air Pollution Control District shall be
awarded one additional point each to account for annual diesel
particulate emissions transported from Mexico.
   (C) The points awarded under subparagraphs (A) and (B), shall be
added together for each district, and the total shall be multiplied
by the population residing within the district boundaries, to yield
the local air quality exposure index.
   (D) The local air quality exposure index for each district shall
be summed together to yield a total state exposure index. Funds shall
be allocated under this paragraph to each district in proportion to
its local air quality exposure index divided by the total state
exposure index.
   (3) The state board shall distribute 30 percent of the allocation
amount to the districts in proportion to the allocation of funds from
the  Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards Attainment
Trust Fund,   program moneys in the fund,  as
follows:
   (A) Because each district is awarded a minimum allocation pursuant
to subdivision (a), there shall be no additional minimum allocation
from the  Carl Moyer   program  historical
allocation funds. The total amount allocated in this way shall be
subtracted from total funding previously awarded to the district
under the  Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards
Attainment Program,   program,  and the remainder,
which shall be known as directed funds, shall be allocated pursuant
to subparagraph (B).
   (B) Each district with a population that is greater than or equal
to 1 percent of the state's population shall receive an additional
allocation based on the population of the district and the district's
relative share of emission reduction commitments in the state
implementation plan to attain the National Ambient Air Quality
Standard for ozone averaged over one hour. This additional allocation
shall be calculated as a percentage share of the directed funds for
each district, derived using a ratio of each district's share amount
to the base amount, which shall be calculated as follows:
   (i) The base amount shall be the total  Carl Moyer
 program funds allocated by the state board to the districts
in the 2002-03 fiscal year, less the total of the funds allocated
through the minimum allocation to each district in the 2002-03 fiscal
year.
   (ii) The share amount shall be the allocation that each district
received in the 2002-03 fiscal year, not including the minimum
allocation. There shall be one share amount for each district.
   (iii) The percentage share shall be calculated for each district
by dividing the district's share amount by the base amount, and
multiplying the result by the total directed funds available under
this subparagraph.
   (b) Funds shall be distributed as expeditiously as reasonably
practicable, and a report of the distribution shall be made available
to the public.
   (c) All funds allocated pursuant to this section shall be expended
as provided in the guidelines adopted pursuant to Section 44287
within two years from the date of allocation. Funds not expended
within the two years shall be returned to the  Covered
Vehicle Account   program moneys in the fund 
within 60 days and shall be subject to further allocation as follows:

   (1) Within 30 days of the deadline to return funds, the state
board shall notify the districts of the total amount of returned
funds available for reallocation, and shall list those districts that
request supplemental funds from the reallocation and that are able
to expend those funds within one year.
   (2) Within 90 days of the deadline to return funds, the state
board shall allocate the returned funds to the districts listed
pursuant to paragraph (1).
   (3) All supplemental funds distributed under this subdivision
shall be expended consistent with the  Carl Moyer Air Quality
Standards Attainment Program   program  within one
year of the date of supplemental allocation. Funds not expended
within one year shall be returned to the  Covered Vehicle
Account   program moneys in the fund  and shall be
distributed at the discretion of the state board to districts, taking
into consideration  of  each district's ability to
expeditiously utilize the remaining funds consistent with the
 Carl Moyer Air Quality Standards Attainment Program.
