Summary

The bill adds new reporting steps for the State Air Resources Board when it proposes, amends, or repeals any regulation. It must produce a clear economic impact assessment that shows the costs to low‑ and middle‑income families and disadvantaged areas, send it to the Legislature six months before the rule becomes law, and hold a joint legislative hearing if the rule would raise those households’ costs above inflation. The rule’s effective date is delayed until the hearing is held.
