INTRODUCED BY   Senator Gaines

                        FEBRUARY 22, 2013

   An act to add Section 43018.3 to the Health and Safety Code,
relating to vehicular air pollution.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 621, as amended, Gaines. Vehicular air pollution: 
exemption: low-use vehicles: nonprofit organizations.  
in-use, diesel-fueled vehicles. 
   Existing law imposes various limitations on emissions of air
contaminants for the control of air pollution from vehicular and
nonvehicular sources. Existing law generally designates the State Air
Resources Board as the state agency with the primary responsibility
for the control of vehicular air pollution. Existing law requires the
state board to adopt and implement motor vehicle emission standards,
in-use performance standards, and motor vehicle fuel specifications
for the control of air contaminants, including standards for off-road
and nonvehicle engine categories.
   This bill would require the state board to amend a specified
regulation relating to the emissions restrictions of diesel
particulate matter, oxides of nitrogen, and other criteria pollutants
from in-use, diesel-fueled vehicles to extend by 5 years various
compliance dates applicable to those vehicles.
   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 43018.3 is added to the Health and Safety Code,
to read:
   43018.3.  The state board shall amend Section 2025 of Article 4.5
of Chapter 1 of Division 3 of Title 13 of the California Code of
Regulations to extend by five years all compliance dates, including
dates in generally applied schedules and in phase-in options,
exemptions, and delays, for requirements applicable to all  motor
 vehicles covered by that regulation.
