	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1001, Burton.  Motor vehicle fuel:  MTBE.
   The Governor's Executive Order D-5-99 requires the State Energy
Resources Conservation and Development Commission, in consultation
with the State Air Resources Board, to develop a timetable for the
removal of methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) from gasoline at the
earliest possible date, but not later than December 31, 2002.
   This bill would require the commission to submit quarterly reports
to the Legislature summarizing the amount of MTBE used in gasoline
by each refinery during the preceding quarter and comparing that
amount to the amount of MTBE used in gasoline by each refinery during
the previous quarter.


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

Legislature summarizing the amount of methyl tertiary-butyl ether
(MTBE) used in gasoline in this state by each refinery during the
preceding quarter and comparing that amount to the amount of MTBE
used in gasoline by each refinery during the previous quarter.
