THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 43701 of the Health and Safety Code is amended
to read:
   43701.  (a) (1) Not later than July 15, 1992, the state board, in
consultation with the bureau and the review committee established
pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 44021, shall  , after
a public hearing,  adopt  , after a public hearing,
 regulations that require that owners or operators of heavy-duty
diesel motor vehicles perform regular inspections of their vehicles
for excessive emissions of smoke. The inspection procedure, the
frequency of inspections, the emission standards for smoke, and the
actions the vehicle owner or operator is required to take to remedy
excessive smoke emissions shall be specified by the state board.
Those standards shall be developed in consultation with interested
parties. The smoke standards adopted under this subdivision shall not
be more stringent than those adopted under Chapter 5 (commencing
with Section 44000).
   (2) (A) On or before December 31 of each year, a fleet shall
comply with the regulations and standards for that calendar year.
   (B) For purposes of this paragraph, "fleet" means any group of two
or more heavy-duty diesel-fueled vehicles that are owned or operated
by the same person.
   (b) Not later than December 15, 1993, the state board shall, in
consultation with the State Energy Resources Conservation and
Development Commission, and after a public hearing, adopt regulations
that require that heavy-duty diesel motor vehicles subject to
subdivision (a) utilize emission control equipment and alternative
fuels. The state board shall consider, but not be limited to, the use
of cleaner burning diesel fuel, or other methods that will reduce
gaseous and smoke emissions to the greatest extent feasible, taking
into consideration the cost of compliance. The regulations shall
provide that any significant modification of the engine necessary to
meet these requirements shall be made during a regularly scheduled
major maintenance or overhaul of the vehicle's engine. If the state
board requires the use of alternative fuels, it shall do so only to
the extent those fuels are available.
   (c) The state board shall adopt emissions standards and procedures
for the qualification of any equipment used to meet the requirements
of subdivision (b), and only qualified equipment shall be used.
   (d) To the extent permissible under federal law, commencing
January 1, 2006, the owner or operator of any commercial motor truck,
as defined in Section 410 of the Vehicle Code, with a gross vehicle
weight rating (GVWR) greater than 10,000 pounds that enters the state
for the purposes of operating in the state shall maintain, and
provide upon demand to enforcement authorities, evidence
demonstrating that its engine met the federal emission standards
applicable to commercial heavy-duty engines for that engine's
model-year at the time it was manufactured, pursuant to the protocol
and regulations developed and implemented pursuant to subdivision
(e).
   (e) The state board, not later than January 1, 2006, in
consultation with the Department of the California Highway Patrol,
shall develop, adopt, and implement regulations establishing an
inspection protocol for determining whether the engine of a truck
subject to the requirements of subdivision (d) met the federal
emission standard applicable to heavy-duty engines for that engine's
model-year at the time it was manufactured.
