SECTION 1.
Section 39734 is added to the Health and Safety Code, to read:39734.
(a) The Legislature finds and declares that certain fluorinated gases are potent causes of global warming, and it is in the public interest that restrictions or prohibitions on the use of these gases be maintained and enhanced as appropriate in the state.(c)All restrictions on the use of class I substances and class II substances or any nonexempt substitute refrigerant as set out in 42 U.S.C. Secs. 7671 to 7671p, inclusive, as those read on January 19, 2017, or in 40 C.F.R. Part 82 shall apply, except as otherwise provided by state law.

(2)Substitutes are currently or potentially available.
(d)A substance shall not be used, or continue to be used, as a substitute for class I or class II substances in new or existing uses if that substance was listed as unacceptable for use under 40 C.F.R. Part 82, Subpart G, as of January 19, 2017, or is
listed subsequently in any appendix to 40 C.F.R. Part 82, Subpart G, or by state regulation.
