California Air Resources Board

Bill Summary

Would have required CARB to create a Lower Emissions Transition Program and establish eligibility guidelines and approve projects that reduce cumulative emissions from cargo handling equipment (CHE) sources at seaports in the state during the transition period to zero-emissions CHE requirements. The bill would have prohibited the approval of a project after the compliance date required by any applicable statute, regulation, or rule that requires a change in equipment to a zero-emission standard. The bill would have required CARB to establish an application fee to be deposited in the Air Pollution Control Fund. Held on suspense in the Assembly Appropriations Committee.
