To the Members of the California State Assembly: I am returning Assembly Bill 1122 without my signature. This bill would make multiple changes to the California Air Resources Board's (CARB) Commercial Harbor Craft (CHC) regulation, including the delay of certain compliance dates and an override system for diesel particulate filter devices with a detailed monitoring, tracking, and reporting system. In 2020, I issued Executive Order (EO) N-79-20 which directed CARB, among other things, to develop strategies to transition to 100 percent zero-emission off-road vehicles and equipment by 2035, where feasible. Pursuant to this EO, CARB amended the CHC regulation to accelerate emission reductions while providing safe, feasible, and flexible compliance options for affected vessels. Unfortunately, this bill undermines this balance and jeopardizes our clean air goals. While I recognize the challenges and concerns of adopting new technologies and approaches, Californians deserve and benefit from clean air and from the avoidance of greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to our rapidly changing climate. With that, I encourage operators of the affected vessels to work towards meeting the CHC regulations, and if there are insurmountable challenges, to continue to work with CARB to explore additional and alternative compliance pathways. For these reasons, I cannot sign this bill. Sincerely, Gavin Newsom |
