An act to add Section 43103 to the Health and Safety Code,
relating to air pollution.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 724, Dutton. State Air Resources Board: mobile source
certification.
Existing law grants to the State Air Resources Board the primary
authority for the control of air pollution from vehicular sources.
The state board tests and certifies new motor vehicle models for
compliance with air pollution emissions standards developed by the
state board.
This bill would require the state board, within 30 working days
after receipt of an application for certification of a new, a
carryover, or a partial carryover on-road or off-road vehicle,
engine, or equipment family, as defined, to inform the applicant, in
writing, either that the application is complete and accepted for
filing, or that the application is deficient, identifying the
specific information required to make the application complete.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Section 43103 is added to the Health and Safety Code,
to read:
43103. (a) As used in this section, the following terms have the
following meanings:
(1) "Carryover vehicle, engine, or equipment family" means an
on-road or off-road vehicle, engine, or equipment family whose
application for certification differs from the vehicle, engine, or
equipment family certified in the previous model year in model-year
designation only.
(2) "Certification" has the same meaning as in Section 39018,
except "certification" does not include the certification of
aftermarket parts or onboard diagnostic systems or equipment or the
verification of retrofit devices for on-road or off-road heavy-duty
diesel vehicles.
(3) "Partial carryover vehicle, engine, or equipment family" means
an on-road or off-road vehicle, engine, or equipment family that is
certified to the same emission standards and the same certification
category as the prior certified model year, if there has been no
change to the applicable emission standard and requirements,
including, but not limited to, durability and warranty requirements,
and no change in emissions performance from changes to
emission-related components, engine configurations, calibrations, or
designs, as determined by the state board. The state board may adopt
regulations that further define "partial carryover vehicle, engine,
or equipment family" for different types of vehicles, engines, or
equipment families.
(4) "Working day" means any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or
state-recognized holiday as provided in Sections 6700 and 6701 of
the Government Code.
(b) Within 30 working days after receipt of an application for
certification of a new, a carryover, or a partial carryover on-road
or off-road vehicle, engine, or equipment family, the state board
shall inform the applicant, in writing, either: (A) that the
application is complete and accepted for filing, or (B) that the
application is deficient, identifying the specific information
required to make the application complete.
