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.

Jackson, Barish & Associates 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. I
