LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
The Administrative Procedure Act generally sets forth the requirements for the adoption, publication, review, and implementation of regulations by state agencies.
This bill would exempt all regulations adopted, and determinations made, by the state board for these provisions from the Administrative Procedure Act and other specified provisions relating to the control of toxic air contaminants.
This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation that restricts the use of high global warming potential compounds used in
refrigerators, chillers, and air conditioning units and that develops an incentive program to speed the replacement of these compounds with alternatives that have lower global warming potential.
