| 1 | + | CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE 20252026 REGULAR SESSION Assembly Bill No. 605Introduced by Assembly Member MuratsuchiFebruary 13, 2025 An act to add Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 39900) to Part 2 of Division 26 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to air pollution.LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTAB 605, as introduced, Muratsuchi. Lower Emissions Equipment at Seaports and Intermodal Yards Program.Existing law, upon the appropriation of funds by the Legislature, requires the State Air Resources Board to allocate funds on a competitive basis for projects that are shown to achieve the greatest emission reductions from each emission source identified, as specified, from activities related to the movement of freight along Californias trade corridors, commencing at the states airports, seaports, and land ports of entry.This bill would enact the Lower Emissions Equipment at Seaports and Intermodal Yards Program. As part of the program, the state board would be prohibited from adopting a future regulation that prohibits or disallows for the use of its entire useful life any cargo handling equipment, as defined, that is purchased pursuant to the program before December 31, 2027.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. Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 39900) is added to Part 2 of Division 26 of the Health and Safety Code, to read: CHAPTER 6. Lower Emissions Equipment at Seaports and Intermodal Yards Program39900. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:(a) It is in the best interests of all Californians to find innovative and cost-effective ways to eliminate the localized impacts from emissions of toxic air contaminants, including diesel emissions and other criteria pollutants, as quickly as possible, while it is in the best interests of all global citizens to reduce the total volume of greenhouse gas emissions.(b) The state has accelerated emission reductions in many manners that benefit both local and global emission goals, including through regulatory enactments and the use of strategic incentives.(c) The state must maintain its aggressive long-term priority emission reductions goals for decarbonization and the reduction of greenhouse gases through the implementation of zero-emission technologies while also addressing the priority of reducing the public health and air quality impacts of toxic air contaminants and criteria pollutants during the intervening years leading up to and during the implementation of zero-emission technologies.(d) In those instances where zero-emission technologies are not yet commercially available, required by law, or economically feasible, transitional technologies can provide an effective bridging technology that results in significant reductions in toxic air contaminants and criteria pollutants in the short term until zero-emission technologies are implemented.(e) Impacted California communities benefit from the reduction of toxic air contaminants and criteria pollutants earlier and greater than otherwise required by law.(f) The state benefits from the enactment of programs that encourage regulators and regulated industry to work cooperatively in the creation of programs that successfully result in the utilization and development of innovative new concepts to introduce zero-emission and lower emission equipment into seaport operations in California.(g) It is in the best interests of the people of the State of California to achieve cumulative lower emission reduction outcomes at seaports and intermodal yards by application of innovative concepts in partnership with industry in a manner that protects public health and the environment.(h) The state should encourage the purchase of equipment and vehicles that are built to existing decarbonization standards adopted by other jurisdictions, including the European Union, prior to the states adoption of its own zero-emissions standards. Subsequent to the purchase of this equipment, the state should not penalize the voluntary adoption of these decarbonization standards for any equipment by prohibiting its use prior to the end of its useful life.39901. The Legislature further finds and declares that all emission reductions generated by the deployment of zero-emissions cargo handling equipment pursuant to this chapter and prior to the adoption of regulations by the State Air Resources Board will result in a cumulative reduction in diesel toxic air contaminants, a cumulative reduction of nitrogen oxides emissions, and a cumulative reduction of greenhouse gas emissions for the life of the equipment being approved when compared to the current diesel engine standards. These reductions in emissions will thereby contribute to public health by reducing the total amount of diesel toxic air emissions in the state, contribute to a reduction of nitrogen oxides in nonattainment areas of the state, and reduce the states contribution to global greenhouse gases.39902. It is the intent of the Legislature to do all of the following:(a) Facilitate an innovative program that produces early and extra reductions of local criteria and toxic air contaminant emissions and greenhouse gas emissions.(b) Maximize near-term local emission reductions of toxic air contaminants and criteria pollutants and to accelerate global reductions of greenhouse gas emissions resulting in reductions that are greater than those that would otherwise occur under current law.(c) Ensure that the cumulative emission reductions from seaport and intermodal yard equipment pursuant to this chapter will result in emissions that are less than the cumulative outcome of acting pursuant to the current and expected regulatory baseline.(d) Provide owners of cargo handling equipment at California seaports and intermodal yards certainty about the useful life of equipment purchased pursuant to programs implemented by the state board pursuant to this chapter to meet required environmental standards.(e) Encourage, in California, the investment in, purchase of, and use of clean cargo handling equipment as early as possible.(f) Support the California goods movement industry to maintain its competitive advantage and avoid risking disinvestment or cargo diversion to locations with less stringent environmental regulations.39903. (a) As used in this chapter, Cargo handling equipment means any equipment that is either of the following:(1) (A) Any off-road, self-propelled vehicle, or equipment used at a port or intermodal railyard to lift or move container, bulk, or liquid cargo carried by ship, train, or another vehicle.(B) Cargo handling equipment includes, but is not limited to, rubber-tired gantry cranes, yard trucks, top handlers, side handlers, reach stackers, forklifts, loaders, aerial lifts, excavators, and dozers.(2) Any piece of equipment that is considered zero emissions because it meets the definition for new heavy-duty vehicles at the time of its purchase pursuant to the CO2 emission performance standards adopted by the European Union in Regulation (EU) 2019/1242.(b) For purposes of this chapter, cargo handling equipment does not mean any fully automated cargo handling equipment, including equipment that is remotely operated and remotely monitored with or without the exercise of human intervention or control. This section does not limit the use of devices that support human-operated cargo handling equipment, including equipment to evaluate the utilization and environmental benefits of that human-operated equipment.39904. The state board shall not adopt a future regulation that prohibits or disallows for the use of its entire useful life any cargo handling equipment that is purchased pursuant to the terms of this chapter before December 31, 2027. | |
