Some bill research does not include the Governor's file because at the time we researched the bill, the sitting Governor had not released his chaptered bill file. If the Governor's file is not included with this particular research, please contact our office (1-530-666-1917 or quote@legintent.com) and we will be happy to provide this file at no charge if it is available. Please Note: Governor files did not exist prior to 1943.
As enacted, Assembly Bill 234 affected Health and Safety Code sections 39037.05, 43837, and 43838 and added Public Resources Code section 25310.1, relating to air pollution. (See Exhibit #1k) Assembly member William Leonard introduced this bill on January 12, 1987. (See Exhibit #1a)
Assembly Bill 234 was assigned to the Assembly Committee on Transportation and the Senate Committee on Governmental Organization where policy issues raised by the bill were considered. (See Exhibits #3 and #7) The fiscal ramifications of the bill were considered by the Assembly Committee on Ways and Means and the Senate Committee on Appropriations. (See Exhibits #2 and #10) Nine amendments were made to Assembly Bill 234. (See Exhibits #1b through #1j and #2) Subsequent to legislative approval, Governor Pete Wilson signed the bill on September 29, 1987 and it was recorded by the Secretary of State on that day as Chapter 1326 of the Statutes of 1987. (See Exhibit #1k)
The Office of Senate Floor Analyses summarized Assembly Bill 234 as last amended on September 9, 1987 in their Third Reading Analysis as follows:
This bill would establish the Advisory Board on Air Quality and Fuels consisting of 17 members. This bill would also establish the Locomotive Emission Advisory Committee.
Senate Floor Amendments of 9/9/87 would change the bill in the following manner:
1. Increase the membership of the Advisory Board to 17 members by adding the Director of Food and Agriculture.
2. Change the due date of the Advisory Board’s report from January 1, 1993 to one year after the appointment of its members. This change would put the bill in the form it was approved by the Transportation Committee.
