Overview
This bill aims to streamline the approval process for aftermarket pollution control devices sold in California. It requires the state board to provide a quicker response to applications for exemptions, with deadlines for determining completeness and issuing approvals or denials. The bill also allows manufacturers to apply for conditional approval to sell parts while awaiting a final determination from the state board and mandates reporting on the state board’s review timelines.
Key provisions
- Requires the state board to determine if an application for an aftermarket part is complete within 30 days of receipt.
- Sets a 60-day deadline for the state board to approve or deny a complete application, including additional emissions testing data.
- Allows manufacturers to apply for conditional approval to sell parts before a final executive order is issued.
- If the state board doesn’t meet deadlines, it must refund the applicant 50% of the application fee.
- Requires the state board to submit a report to the legislature on review and issuance timelines for executive orders issued to exempt aftermarket parts.
- Defines key terms related to the application process, such as ‘complete application’ and ‘emissions testing facility’.
- Establishes a two-year expiration period for conditional approvals, unless extended.
- Specifies that a manufacturer who fails to comply with a recall or corrective action plan required pursuant to subdivision (b) may be subject to civil penalties.
