This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis.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

(1) Existing law generally designates the State Air Resources Board as the state agency with the primary responsibility for the control of vehicular air pollution and air pollution control and air quality management districts with the primary responsibility for the control of air pollution from all sources other than vehicular sources. Existing law makes a violation of a rule or regulation of the state board a misdemeanor. This bill would require the state board to regulate a mobile fueling on-demand tank vehicle, as defined, as a mobile source, and, contingent upon an appropriation by the Legislature for this purpose, to adopt regulations on or before a specified date to control emissions attributable to mobile fueling on-demand tank vehicles and to certify equipment for those vehicles, as provided. The bill would authorize the state board to allow the use of onboard refueling vapor recovery (ORVR) systems to achieve or maintain the standards and procedures adopted in those regulations for the control of gasoline vapors resulting from the motor vehicle fueling operations of a mobile fueling on-demand tank vehicle. As part of those regulations, the bill would require the state board, in consultation with air pollution control and air quality management districts, to adopt regulations to govern the motor vehicle fueling operations of a mobile fueling on-demand tank vehicle to ensure the protection of public health and safety and the environment. The bill would authorize a district to enter into a memorandum of understanding to enforce the regulations applicable to the motor vehicle fueling operations of a mobile fueling on-demand tank vehicle. Because a violation of those regulations would be a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would prohibit a person from operating, or allowing the operation of, a mobile fueling on-demand tank vehicle, unless it is equipped with a vapor recovery system that is certified by the state board, or that meets permeation and spillage performance standards determined by the state board, and is installed, operated, and maintained in compliance with the state board's requirements for certification. The bill would require the state board to assess a fee on mobile fueling on-demand tank vehicles to recover the reasonable costs of implementing these provisions, and would require the fee to be deposited in the Air Pollution Control Fund and to be available for expenditure upon appropriation by the Legislature. The bill would require that the fee be adjusted annually based on the California Consumer Price Index as compiled and reported by the Department of Industrial Relations. The bill would require the state board to transfer, upon appropriation by the Legislature, the amount of revenues generated by these fees necessary to reimburse a district for the costs of enforcing any regulation pursuant to a memorandum of understanding described above. (2) Existing law prohibits a person from installing or maintaining a stationary gasoline tank with a capacity of 250 gallons or more that is not equipped for loading through a permanent submerged fill pipe, unless the tank is a pressure tank, as specified, or is equipped with a vapor recovery system, as specified, or with a floating roof, as specified, or unless the tank is equipped with other apparatus of equal efficiency that has been approved by the air pollution control officer in whose district the tank is located. This bill would allow a person to install or maintain a mobile fueling on-demand tank vehicle, or a system on that vehicle, that is certified by the state board and meets certain requirements and that is not equipped for loading through a permanent submerged fill pipe, even if the tank is a pressure tank, as specified, or is not equipped with a vapor recovery system, as specified, or does not have a floating roof, as specified, or if the tank is not equipped with other apparatus of equal efficiency that has been approved by the air pollution control officer in whose district the tank is located. The bill would require that a mobile fueling on-demand tank vehicle be loaded exclusively through bottom loading equipment certified by the state board, unless the vehicle includes a vapor recovery system that is certified by the state board. (3) Existing law requires the state board to adopt performance standards to ensure that systems for the control of gasoline vapors resulting from motor vehicle fueling operations do not cause excessive gasoline liquid spillage when used in a proper manner. Existing law requires the state board to adopt test procedures to determine the compliance with vapor emission standards of vapor recovery systems of cargo tanks on tank vehicles used to transport gasoline, as provided. Existing law prohibits an air district from adopting test procedures for, or requiring certification of, cargo tank vapor recovery systems and from imposing fees on, or requiring a permit of, tank vehicles with vapor recovery systems, but provides that an air district is not prohibited from inspecting and testing cargo tank vapor recovery systems on tank vehicles for specified purposes. This bill would provide that an air district is additionally not prohibited from inspecting and testing emissions control systems on mobile fueling on-demand tank vehicles for those same purposes. (4) 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 no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
