SB474 would revoke all authority of the State Air Resources Board to adopt, revise, or repeal regulations. Instead, the Board would be authorized to provide advice and propose measures to the Legislature for statutory enactment. This change applies to any law that grants the Board regulatory authority. Regulations adopted by the Board before January 1, 2026, would remain in effect. The Board would still be responsible for monitoring and regulating greenhouse gas emissions to reduce global warming.
