AB 1226: Air quality: wildland vegetation management burning: permits: exemption.

The bill aims to revise the state's air pollution regulations regarding wildland vegetation management burning. It would require the state board to designate agencies to oversee agricultural burning activities and adopt rules to ensure safe and effective conduct. The bill would exempt wildland vegetation management burning from permit requirements if conducted by or under the supervision of the designated agency. To ensure public safety and environmental protection, the bill would also establish guidelines and best practices for wildland vegetation management burning. Reimbursement for costs mandated by the state would be made to local agencies and school districts if the commission on state mandates determines that the bill contains such costs.
