Digest: Existing law establishes the State Air Resources Board, which is responsible for control of emissions from motor vehicles and is designated the air pollution control agency for all purposes set forth in federal law. Existing law vests air pollution control districts and air quality management districts with the primary responsibility for control of air pollution from all sources other than vehicular sources. Existing law establishes maximum criminal and civil penalties for any person that violates specified nonvehicular air pollution laws. This bill would require the state board, on March 1, 2011, and annually thereafter, to adjust these maximum civil and criminal penalties for inflation, and to publish the inflation-adjusted maximum penalties on its Internet Web site. »Less
