Summary

The bill adds a new Office of Civil Rights to the State Air Resources Board. It will train board staff, grantees, contractors and subrecipients on civil‑rights duties, provide language‑access services, and coordinate equity efforts with local air districts and the California EPA. An annual public report on complaints and compliance will be posted online, but the office can only be funded if the Legislature appropriates money.
