	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1099, as amended, Bonnie Lowenthal.  Freeway service
patrols.   Commercial motor vehicles: emissions
standards.  
   Existing law requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to refuse
registration, or renewal or transfer of registration, for any
commercial motor vehicle with a declared gross or combined gross
vehicle weight that exceeds 10,000 pounds if the owner or operator of
the motor vehicle at the time of the application has been cited for
a violation of specified air quality standards pertaining to that
vehicle or regulations adopted by the State Air Resources Board,
until the violation has been cleared, as determined by that board.
 
   This bill would require the department, effective January 1, 2012,
to refuse registration for commercial motor vehicle that is subject
to the above provisions that is of a 1996 or older model year and
requires a class A or B commercial driver's license to operate,
unless the owner or operator of the commercial motor vehicle can
demonstrate that its engine complies with heavy-duty diesel engine
emissions standards applicable on or after 1996 as adopted by the
State Air Resources Board.  
   The bill would exempt from this requirement a commercial motor
vehicle registered in California prior to January 1, 2012, if
commercial motor vehicle is continuously registered, as specified, or
is certified nonoperational after January 1, 2012.  
   Existing law designates the Freeway Service Patrol Act the purpose
of which is to provide for the implementation of a freeway service
patrol system for traffic-congested urban freeways throughout the
state.  
   This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to that provision.

   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee:  no
