AB852 exempts propane conversion kits for furnaces and water heaters from oxides of nitrogen emission restrictions.

AB852 adds a provision to the Health and Safety Code, clarifying that regulations prohibiting or restricting the sale or use of gas-fired appliances based on oxides of nitrogen emission limitations do not apply if the appliance is installed with a propane conversion kit for propane firing only. This exemption applies to districts that have exempted propane as a fuel source in their rules. The bill references actions by the Bay Area and South Coast Air Quality Management Districts as precedents for other districts and the State Air Resources Board.
