SUBJECT: LEGISLATION: AB 1332 (Peace)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOPMEMATION:
Continue the Board' s position of SUPPORT for 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 CFCs.
BACKGROUND:
On February 27 , 1990 the Board of Supervisors voted to support AB
1332 by Assemblyman Steve Peace. The bill has been amended
again.
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 , as amended January 22 , 1990 , continues to 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 CFCs.
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 if the
individual motor vehicle model continues to be equipped with an
air-conditioning system which uses CFO' s. The January 22 , 1990
amendment added the phrase "if the individual motor vehicle model
continues to be equipped with an air-conditioning system which
uses CFCs" to clarify that no such finding need be made if the
model no longer is equipped with air-conditioning systems which
use CFCs. 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.
The January 22, 1990 amendments add definitions of
"air-conditioning system" and "chlorofluorocarbons" for purposes
of the bill.
It appears that passage of AB 1332 as amended January 22, 1990
would continue to further the Board of Supervisors ' environmental
goals and it is therefore recommended that the Board indicate
their continued support of AB 1332.
