Summary

Under existing law, the State Air Resources Board has adopted the Control Measure for Ocean-Going Vessels At Berth regulation to reduce air polluting emissions from ocean-going vessels while docked at berth at California ports. Under that regulation, operators of tanker vessels using auxiliary engines or auxiliary boilers are required to comply with specified requirements to reduce emissions from those vessels through the use of an approved emissions control strategy beginning on January 1, 2025, if visiting the ports of Los Angeles or Long Beach and January 1, 2027, if visiting any other port in the state. This bill would delay the state board's ability to enforce those requirements with respect to tanker vessels carrying petroleum crude or petroleum products until January 1, 2027, for those vessels visiting the ports of Los Angeles or Long Beach and January 1, 2029, for those vessels visiting any other port in the state. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
