Summary
The bill adds a new law that makes the South Coast Air Quality Management District conduct detailed energy, cost, workforce and environmental assessments before it can adopt any new emissions‑reduction rules for the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. It also blocks any rule that would limit cargo throughput or cruise‑ship passengers and prevents the use of public money to promote automated equipment. The measure is intended to balance environmental goals with the ports’ economic role.
