SB 352: Environmental justice: Department of Justice: Bureau of Environmental Justice: community air monitoring.

The bill aims to improve environmental justice by establishing a community air monitoring system. The state board will select high-priority locations to deploy monitoring systems, which must remain active for at least five years. The monitoring plan must be updated every five years, with approval from the state board. The state board will report to the legislature on the progress of implementing the requirements by March 1st of each year. Reimbursement for costs mandated by the state will be made to local agencies and school districts if the commission on state mandates determines that the bill contains such costs.
