Concerning the replacement of certain catalytic converters.
Bill Summary:
When a catalytic converter mechanically fails or is stolen from a motor vehicle, current rules of the air quality control commission require the replacement to comply with the rules of the California air resources board. The bill creates a temporary exception that allows a person to use a replacement catalytic converter that complies with the standards established by rules of the federal environmental protection agency if:
- In the case of the theft of a catalytic converter, the theft has been reported to a law enforcement agency; and
- The owner or operator of the motor vehicle has made a reasonable effort to obtain the required replacement catalytic converter and has been unable to obtain the replacement catalytic converter.
The exception is repealed, effective July 1, 2027.
(Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)
