California Air Resources Board

CARB is conducting a comprehensive public outreach and community engagement process to inform the development of AB 617.  As one aspect of this outreach we have convened a multi-stakeholder Consultation Group. Members of the Consultation Group include individuals representing environmental justice organizations, air districts, industry, academia, public health organizations, and local government. The Consultation Group will provide an opportunity for discussion of various aspects of program development.  This will complement additional outreach and consultation efforts through a variety of forums including public workshops, community meetings, and discussions with individual organizations and stakeholders.
