AB 2349: State Air Resources Board: regional air quality incident response program.

The bill aims to expand the state's air pollution incident response program to provide support for a regional network of air quality incident response centers. These centers would facilitate emergency air monitoring response at the local and regional level. The program would be operated by the state board or an air district, and coordination would be required to provide emergency air monitoring response for disasters or other crises impacting air quality and public health. Funding for the program would be available from the legislature, and could be used for various purposes, including planning, creating, equipping, and maintaining air quality incident response centers. The state would be required to reimburse local agencies and school districts for costs mandated by the state, if the commission on state mandates determines that the bill contains such costs.
