99-9-3   Public Meeting to Consider the Status Report/Report to the Legislature on Implementation of California's Minor Violation Program

AB 2937, enacted in 1996, required the Air Resources Board (ARB) and local air districts to adopt a regulation to establish a minor violation program. The Legislation also required ARB to prepare a report to the Legislature on actions taken to implement and results of implementation by both ARB and the districts. The Board, at the April 1998 hearing in which they approved the minor violation regulation, requested a status report on implementation. A report to the Legislature, which will be presented to the Board for approval, will also serve as the status report requested at the April hearing. The report to the Legislature is due by January 1, 2000.

The staff proposes to redesignate the northern portion of Sonoma County in the North Coast Air Basin from attainment to nonattainment for the state ozone standard. The rest of the North Coast Air Basin would remain designated as attainment
