HB 25-1118: Catalytic Converter Replacement Exemption

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 The exception is repealed, effective July 1, 2027.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.)
