| 1 | 1 | | CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE 20212022 REGULAR SESSION Assembly Bill No. 2968Introduced by Committee on Privacy and Consumer Protection (Assembly Members Gabriel (Chair), Kiley (Vice Chair), Bauer-Kahan, Bennett, Cunningham, Mike Fong, Irwin, and Wicks)March 17, 2022 An act to amend Sections 13460, 13461, 13482, 13700, 13710, and 13711 of the Business and Professions Code, relating to consumer protection. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTAB 2968, as introduced, Committee on Privacy and Consumer Protection. Privacy and consumer protection omnibus.(1) Existing law regulates the sales of motor vehicle fuels and lubricants, including engine oil, and requires engine oil sold or distributed in the state for use in an internal combustion engine to conform to certain specifications and labeling requirements. Existing law requires the Department of Food and Agriculture, acting through the Division of Measurement Standards, to enforce these provisions.This bill would revise these engine oil specifications by deleting an obsolete specification and by adding an additional specification that an engine oil may meet in order to be sold or distributed in the state. The bill would make other related changes. (2) Existing law regulates the sale of automotive products, such as transmission fluid, and requires the Department of Food and Agriculture and county sealers to enforce these provisions. Under existing law, transmission fluid is prohibited from being sold without clearly disclosing, on the label of its container, the type of transmission for which it is intended. Under existing law, transmission fluid is required to meet the latest automotive manufacturers recommended requirements for all transmissions disclosed on the label of its container. Existing law deems a transmission fluid as mislabeled if the container does not bear a label on which is printed certain information, including, among other things, the duty type classification. A violation of these provisions governing the sale of automotive products is a crime.This bill would prohibit a transmission fluid from being sold without clearly disclosing each duty type classification, as defined, that the fluid is intended to meet. The bill would require transmission fluid to meet each duty type classification disclosed on the principal display panel on its container. The bill would additionally deem transmission fluid to be mislabeled if the container does not bear a label on which is printed each type of transmission for which the transmission fluid is intended. Because a violation of these provisions would be a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.(3) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: YES Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.
