Summary
Would have authorized the expansion of the existing Protecting Blue Whales and Blue Skies Program to a single unified statewide voluntary vessel speed reduction and sustainable shipping program. The bill would have required the Ocean Protection Council (Council) and CARB to participate as advisers as well as stakeholders with coastal local air districts and other stakeholders, subject to funding availability. Participating local air districts would have been required to submit a legislative report by December 31, 2028. Held on suspense in the Senate Appropriations Committee.
