Summary

The bill directs the State Air Resources Board to expand its incident monitoring program and establish a regional network of air‑quality response centers, with at least one located in the South Coast district. Local air districts may run these centers, and the board and districts must work together to provide rapid air‑quality data during disasters. Funding is only provided if the Legislature appropriates money, and any mandated costs must be reimbursed to local agencies.
