SUBJECT: LEGISLATION: AB 1332 (Peace)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)8 BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECONME NDATI ON:
Adopt a position in SUPPORT of AB 1332 by Assemblyman Peace which
would prohibit certification of any motor vehicle of a 1995 or
later model year which has an air-conditioning system that uses
CFC' s.
BACKGROUND:
Existing law prohibits a motor vehicle on a highway which does
not comply with emission control equipment requirements.
Existing law does not regulate the use of CFC' s in motor vehicle
air conditioning systems, but requires the State Air Resources
Board to evaluate programs to reduce CFC emissions from motor
vehicle air-conditioning systems.
AB 1332 has been amended by Assemblyman Peace. As amended
January 12, 1990 AB 1332 would prohibit the State Air Resources
Board from certifying a 1995 or later model year motor vehicle
which has an air-conditioning system that uses CFCs.
The bill would also prohibit any person from installing, selling
or offering to sell an air-conditioning system which uses CFC' s
and is intended for use on a 1995 or later model year motor
vehicle.
The State Air Resources Board may, by regulation, delay the motor
vehicle model year to which this prohibition applies upon a
finding that there is no economically or technologically feasible
alternative air-conditioning system which does not use CFC' s.

By January 1, 1993 and at least once annually thereafter, the
State Air Resources Board would be required to make a finding as
to whether an individual motor vehicle model will be in violation
of the prohibition beginning in the 1995 model year. The Board
is to make this finding public and within 30 days of making the
finding, must notify affected motor vehicle manufacturers of the
finding.
It appears that passage of AB 1332 would further the Board of
Supervisors ' environmental goals and it is therefore recommended
that the Board indicate their support of AB 1332.
