This bill died with 2011-2012 Regular Session. It reached “In Committee” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.
This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.
Summary
Existing law regulates emissions from cruise ship engines and oceangoing ship engines. Regulations of the State Air Resources Board require vessel fleets to either reduce onboard power generation to specified levels or achieve equivalent emission reductions. This bill would permit a vessel at berth or at anchor in the jurisdiction of a California port to use any method to reduce emissions that has been demonstrated to the satisfaction of the state board to reduce emissions to the level that would be achieved by using shore power.
