Overview
This bill aims to improve California’s air quality by expanding the state’s authority to regulate indirect sources of air pollution, such as mobile sources. It would authorize the State Air Resources Board to establish fees for these sources to cover implementation and enforcement costs, create a statewide emissions reporting program, and clarify definitions related to ‘best available control technology’ and ‘best available retrofit control technology.’ The bill also seeks to modernize the permitting process through a precertification program and streamline expedited permit reviews, while addressing concerns about disadvantaged communities and promoting staff collaboration between agencies.

- Establishes definitions for ‘best available control technology’ and ‘best available retrofit control technology’ for air pollution regulations.
