Requires CARB, by January 1, 2029, to develop and publish online guidance on levels for indoor air contaminants following residential smoke damage from wildfire, implications for health, and possible protective measures to reduce health impacts. CARB may revise and update the guidance as new research and data becomes available. The guidance developed is exempt from the Administrative Procedures Act and the California Environmental Quality Act. The bill has other guidance and regulation requirements for the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC).
