AB 2635: Air pollution: small off-road engines: voucher programs: local regulation.
<p>The bill requires large and medium air pollution control districts in California to implement a commercial voucher program by January 1, 2028. This program aims to support transitioning to zero-emission small off-road equipment. It also prohibits local governments from enforcing ordinances that ban the use of such equipment unless they establish an incentive voucher program meeting specific requirements. The bill prevents these ordinances from being punishable as infractions or misdemeanors and instead mandates administrative fines under certain conditions.</p>
