Overview
This bill modifies California Vehicle Code Section 27156 to exempt alternative fuel retrofit systems for gasoline vehicles that convert to dual-fueled vehicles using E85. Specifically, it allows for these systems to be certified by the EPA and removes the requirement for state certification, executive order approval, or additional testing. The bill also clarifies that the State Air Resources Board cannot require these devices to meet specific standards and protects those who sell or supply E85 fuel to vehicles with these retrofits.
