Digesting the provisions of the bill as last amended on August 20, 1993, the Office of Senate Floor Analyses states:
This bill requires specified air pollution control/air quality
This bill requires air pollution control/air quality management districts to meet certain requirements in adopting their annual budgets, and to establish compliance programs. The Air Resources Board would be required to assist local districts in identifying transportation-related emission reductions necessary to attain ambient air standards, and to include information on district fee systems in its annual report.
The bill also changes the sunset date for the energy efficiency improvement loan fund program from January 1, 1997 to January 1, 2002.
Prohibits the south coast district from making an allocation to the Air
Quality Assistance Fund of the small business assistance program and extends the sunset for the fund from January 1, 1994 to January 1, 1999.
Senate Floor Amendments of 8/30/93 represents an agreement between the State Air Resources Board, the South Coast AQMD District, and aerosol plant manufacturer to repeal a SCAQMD regulation relating to aerosol paint emissions.
Existing law requires the state board to adopt regulations to achieve the maximum feasible reduction in reactive organic compounds emitted by consumer products, as specified, including aerosol paints, and prohibits the districts from adopting different regulations for that purpose.
This bill would require the state board, by January 1, 1995, to adopt those regulations as to aerosol paints, requiring full compliance by December 31, 1999, subject to the granting of a specified extension, and establishing interim limits prior to that date. The bill would prohibit the districts from adopting any different regulations, except as specified.
