Sun Buggie Fun Rentals Settles for $55,000
In March 2019, Jordan & Associates Investments, Inc., DBA Sun Buggie Fun Rentals (Sun Buggie) of Grover Beach, California, settled its case with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for uncertified off-highway vehicles introduced into California for sale, rent, lease, use, and introduction into commerce in California. A complaint initiated CARB’s investigation of rental companies in Oceano, California using uncertified vehicles in their rental fleet. The investigation revealed that Sun Buggie was indeed renting uncertified vehicles to the public in violation of Health and Safety Code § 43150 et seq., California Code of Regulations, title 13, § 2410 et seq., and California Vehicle Code § 38391. Sun Buggie entered into a settlement agreement with CARB and agreed to pay a total penalty amount of $55,000, or $5,000 per unit, for 11 violations found. The entire penalty will be allocated to the Air Pollution Control Fund. In addition to the penalty, a post settlement inspection occurred and found no further violations, thus resolving the case.
