SB 34: Air pollution: South Coast Air Quality Management District: mobile sources: Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles.

This bill aims to add and repeal a section of the health and safety code, relating to air pollution. It would require the South Coast Air Quality Management District to adopt rules and regulations to control air pollution from all sources, not just vehicles. The district would need to assess the energy demand and supply, cost estimates, and funding source, workforce, and environmental impacts associated with any new or additional emissions reduction requirements. The ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles would be prohibited from imposing a cap on cargo throughput or cruise ship passengers. The bill would also make legislative findings and declarations regarding the necessity of a special statute for the South Coast Air Quality Management District. Reimbursement for certain mandated costs would be provided, but not for a specified reason.
