AB 1645: Hydrogen fluoride: report.

(1)Existing law establishes the South Coast Air Quality Management District vested with the authority to regulate air emissions from stationary sources located in the South Coast Air Basin.

This bill would require the south coast district, no later than January 1, 2020, to submit a specified report to the Legislature on hydrogen fluoride and modified hydrogen fluoride at specified refineries. By adding to the duties of the south coast district, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

(2)The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
