LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTAB 1372, as introduced, Alvarez. Vehicular air pollution: medium- and heavy-duty vehicles: land ports of entry.Existing law imposes various limitations on emissions of air contaminants for the control of air pollution from vehicular and nonvehicular sources. Existing law generally designates the State Air Resources Board as the state agency with the primary responsibility for the control of vehicular air pollution and air pollution control and air quality management districts with the primary responsibility for the control of air pollution from all sources other than vehicular sources. Existing law requires the state board, no later than January 1, 2021, and every 5 years thereafter, to update its 2016 mobile source strategy to include a comprehensive strategy for the deployment of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles in the state for purposes of bringing the state into compliance with federal ambient air quality standards and reducing motor vehicle greenhouse gas emissions from the medium- and heavy-duty vehicle sector. Under its existing authority, the state board has adopted the Advanced Clean Truck Regulation, which requires manufacturers who sell medium- and heavy-duty vehicles to sell zero-emission vehicles as an increasing percentage of their annual sales and requires certain fleet operators to report to the state board certain information regarding their vehicular usage.This bill would, before January 1, 2026, prohibit the state board from enforcing any regulations requiring the purchase and use of zero-emission vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating of over 8,500 pounds operating in a land port of entry on the California-Mexico border within a commercial zone, as defined. The bill would, on and after January 1, 2026, prohibit the state board from enforcing any regulations requiring the purchase and use of zero-emission vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating of over 8,500 pounds operating at a land port of entry on the California-Mexico border within a commercial zone under certain conditions. The bill would specify that the state board has the burden of proof in demonstrating the fleet operator has reasonable access to an economically feasible charging or fueling infrastructure in enforcing those regulations for vehicles operating at a land port of entry on the California-Mexico border within a commercial zone.This bill would require the Legislative Analyst, on or before September 1, 2024, to report to the Legislature on certain information regarding international commerce at the states land ports of entry on the California-Mexico border within commercial zones.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: NO Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1. Section 43024.3 is added to the Health and Safety Code, to read:43024.3.
