Bill > SB1035

This bill suspends the Low Carbon Fuel Standard regulations, which are designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transportation fuels, for one year, and also exempts suppliers of transportation fuels from regulations related to market-based compliance mechanisms for the same period. Additionally, it suspends the imposition of the motor vehicle fuel tax for one year, requiring sellers to provide receipts indicating the amount of tax that would have otherwise applied. The bill mandates that any savings from these suspensions be passed on to the end consumer, defining an "end consumer" as someone buying fuel for their own use, not for resale, and making violations an unfair business practice. To offset potential revenue losses, the Controller is directed to transfer funds from the General Fund to both the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund and the Motor Vehicle Fuel Account. The bill also includes provisions for notifying parties of alleged violations and allowing them an opportunity to remedy any issues before enforcement actions are taken, and it declares itself an urgency statute to take effect immediately to provide relief from high gas prices and inflation.
